tour to isosaari fortress

Ketunretket​ had a chance to wander around the old army fortress island of Isosaari. This is a place that has been used by both the Russian and Finnish army forces during decades of time.

Harbour of Isosaari fortress has a watching tower and place for the ferry.

Ms Isosaari sails from Helsinki to Vallisaari and Isosaari during the summer season.

In Isosaari there are many old cannon-sites to protect the traffic in Gulf of Finland.

Most of the buildings are in awful condition.

Biggest cannons required a concrete structure

Come on, we are ready...

A fox watching for the birds

During springtime this is a place for migrating birds to rest.

If you are lucky, you might see a white-tailed eagle gliding in the sky...

From the island of Kuivasaari in the neighbourhood were shot the salutation shots for independent, 100 years old state of Finland.
