Treriksrøysa
Tripoint between Finland, Norway and Russia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For Norway-Sweden-Finland tripoint marker farther to the west (also called Treriksrøysa), see Three-Country Cairn.
Treriksrøysa (lit. 'Three-Country Cairn') is a cairn which marks the tripoint where the borders between Norway, Finland, and Russia meet. The site is on a hill called Muotkavaara,[1] in the Pasvikdalen valley, west of the Pasvikelva river and 15 km (9 mi) southwest of Nyrud just west of Krokfjellet in Sør-Varanger Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway.[2][3][4] It is the only place in Europe where three time zones meet: Central European Time, Eastern European Time and Further-eastern European Time.[5] The tripoint can only legally be approached by the public from the Norwegian side, since both Finland and Russia maintain extensive border zones where public access is prohibited.
