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.
The Three-Country Cairn (Finnish: Kolmen valtakunnan rajapyykki, Northern Sami: Golmma riikka urna, Norwegian: Treriksrøysa, Swedish: Treriksröset) is the tripoint at which the international borders of Sweden, Norway and Finland meet, and the name of the monument that marks the point. It is the northernmost international tripoint in the world.
The border between Norway and Finland is 736 kilometers (457 mi) long. [1] It is a land and river border between two tripoints. The western tripoint is marked by Treriksröset, a concrete cairn where both countries border Sweden. The eastern tripoint is marked by Treriksrøysa, a stone cairn where both countries border Russia.
