Harjun Hovi
Discover the magnificent oasis amidst the breathtaking southeastern countryside at Harjun Hovi. Here, you can stroll along the Salpa Line and explore bunkers, or descend the rocky slopes of Vahtivuori, once a source of stone for crafting wartime tank barriers.
Bunker Museum
Virolahti Bunker Museum offers a captivating experience! Explore wartime cannons and armored vehicles, wander through trenches, and peer into bunkers.
The museum area features a protective barrier made from chiseled stones sourced from the cliff at Vahtivuori, a forested hill whose name translates to “Watch Mountain” in Finnish. These stone obstacles, reminiscent of Dragon’s Teeth, were strategically placed to defend against tank movements.
From the museum café terrace, admire the Dragon’s Teeth, and access the Salpa Line for a leisurely walk or a fatbike ride. The Green Belt Center provides insights into Virolahti’s history and environmental conservation.
