Funny thing is also that when there is "border zone" between Fin and Rus where "any living creature shall not enter", but when you go to border between Sweden and Finland (EDIT: And Norway too I guess..) you can literally jump over border between your every step if you want. You basically dont't even know every place where the border line is. It is great to have that kind of relationship between countries.

Probably the most interesting borders in Europe. As all those countries including Russia has at 1 point been at war with each other. And have all helped each other. But well because of the soviet union the Norwegian especially finish and Swedish relationship was completely ruined tho Sweden's relation ship with Russia was ruined way way before any of the other countries during the Great Nordic War when Russia and the Swedish empire had a bloody war. But despite Norway and Sweden choosing the west over the east At least Norway maintained a pretty good relationship with Russia as they shared some waters and there were Russian settlements in Norwegian Territory in Svalbard. But Finland and Russia has never had any good relation ship due to the Winter war and the Continuation war. Which in my eyes Finland won it completely humiliated the Soviet soldiers and made the whole world laugh at them for basically loosing to some Sauna loving skiers. And Sweden also delivered a massive blow in the Great Nordic war. (Great northern war if you wanna be specific) tho it resulted in the formation of the Russian Empire and collapse of Swedish empire. Which then caused another reason for the Finns to hate the Russians as they were taken from Sweden and turned to the Russian Empire. Which well didn't give them freedom in till the collapse of the Russian Empire in the aftermath of WW1. Its weird that after all these years even Norway and Denmark have a good relationship with Sweden and Germany who have been their greatest oppressor since Sweden was one of the most powerful nations in the world. Yet they never managed to make peace with Russia and now you get shot if you even poke your finger over the border. Whilst the Nordics learned to love the Russians learned to hate. Which has now resulted in what can only be explained the start of the collapse of Russia.

As someone who lives on an island nation (Australia), it still seems weird that you can just walk across a national border.

You call it in, you and the other guy on watch at the time, and is told: If the Soviets cross the bridge. Open fire. That scenario, happened in Norway in 1968. The Norwegian defense minster said, hold this from the public for now. Because I think the Soviets are bluffing. Which the Soviets were.

Finland, Norway, as well as Sweden and 25 other countries belong to the "Shengen area", which means you can move freely through their borders and stay, work etc. without any paperwork. Only exception that if you stay more then 3 months, you should register yourself at police station. You can cross the borders between these countries anywhere, bu any means as long as you don't have anything with you that should be declared at customs (you'll know if you have anything like that with you). You do need to have a passport with you, or visa, but it's not checked unless you run into trouble with law enforcement. So that's why there are no border fences etc. If you go through a more official border crossing points, you will not be checked (as a private person)... so it's effectively like you're staying in the same country. The agreement allows a country to start enforcing their borders and enforcing border checks for a reason, but not indefinitely.

I also read of Malaysians who found it harder to service their loans after giving up their careers as the loans had been made based on the higher salaries they earned in their Singapore careers. More recently with the advent of remote working, some employees who have jobs in Singapore have now moved to live in Malaysia instead as its cheaper, but I'm not sure if a Malaysian work visa is needed for that (unless the employee is Malaysian)

Thanks for that little trip. Fascinating that Norway has two soldiers sitting there. You might have forgotten one detail though, concerning the history of the border. From 1917-1944 Norway had no land border with Russia, as the area called Petsamo (Pechenga in Russian) all the way up to Barents Sea, was within the Finnish borders. In 1944 the area was occupied by the USSR, and through the Paris peace agreement of 1947, the area was incorporated into the Soviet Union, and after the fall of the USSR, it became Russia.

But there is no doubt whatsoever that in the peace of Tartu Soviet Russia agreed that Petsamo belonged to Finland, whereas Repola and Porajarvi were agreed to belong to Soviet Russia. The exact borders in the wilderness had been less important s long as Finland was part of the Russian empire anyway, so it is quite natural that becoming independent meant that Finland had border issues with Russia. But it is a fact, as you pointed out that there was not any historic reasons why Petsamo should belong to Finland, although - as well as in Carelia - part of the population of those areas was Finnish.

The bus across the border from Kirkeness to Murmansk go daily even before the e-visas were implemented. Just 5 hour ride and you can go whenever you want inside Russia from Murmansk with the only exception as military objects(there are a lot of naval bases in Murmansk) and the territories within 15 km from the border. The only problem for now is - COVID restrictions. Thats why the border is closed for now.

After walking a few km you come across a sign marking the border with Chile, indicating that it is strictly forbidden to go any further. The area is completely deserted, with no barrier to stop you walking onwards. So of course, I took a few steps beyond the sign and hopped back into Argentina immediately.

The forest between Canada and the US does actually. It was kind enough to stop growing there and just meet up with another friendly forest, but keep a few feet of distance.

Thanks for going there, I’ve always wanted but never could

Fun fact the Swedish version of Treriksrøysa (Treriksröset) refers to the meeting point of the Swedish, Norwegian and Finish border.

Not to burst you bubble, but Norway and Finnland have the same border ... xD

Ngl man, you had me at first with those gunshots lol.

Wow! Very interesting.

nice nature

The ending was funny 😂, It would be interesting to see what would happen should anyone bend their head over the wire fence for a glimpse. Great video!

Actually you CAN get there from Finland as well, without going to Norway at all. Isn't easy though, and you need to know exactly where you are going, but there is a completely legal possibility. I did that some years ago, travelling through Treriksrøysa with my mountain bike. Would I recommend that to anyone? Not really, unless you're really out of challenges ;)

someone likely said it alredy but there is border in the west side of finland where finland norway and sweden share similar place. I went to kilpisjärvi last summer to climb the malla tunturi so i was pretty close to it. Have to bother to go again some day to actually go there.

Interesting video. Hopefully that was just military training exercises! The landscape there is breathtaking! We have a place in my part of the USA where three states, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York meet. Thanks for sharing! 👍

And now in 2023 Finland is a member of NATO. The border between Finland and Russia is the longest NATO border.

The two soldiers are Norwegian border yaegers. I'm not sure if they were on leave or something since they were unarmed, or could be they've got unarmed duty to inform civvie tourists. Their training is the heaviest and most intense training Norway can offer to privates. Med øye mot øst!

well .. I disagree there, yes its very good training and they will be the first to meet any invasion from Russia, however they are not the most intense trained soldiers we have... that would be our special forces, and I am pretty sure Telemark-batallion also hold some too. But they are superb in recognise Russian equipment, what type of vehicles or weapon there is... and so on. Served 9 months as Adm.Ass for the borderguards in 92.... best service ever, loved the people and officers, and if I had a chance to continue after that I would have taken it.

Usually border troops aren't armed when countries haven't declared war, saves an incident that would lead to an international situation. For example the Chinese and Indians fighting hand to hand in border disputes, and throwing rocks at each other, if they had guns then things would turn lethal in seconds before cooler heads could prevail.
