Off the trail in Finland

Off the trail, these are not entirely touristic spots. They are either difficult to access due to the distance (like Inari ), or most tourists just don't venture there. They will skip the top recommended places from Lonely Planet, without the desire to see anything outside of the guide. And this place is more authentic, unspoiled by tourist shoes. And while Tampere is moot on this list, you won't get too many tourists there.
