About Kilopuuvaaran kalakenttä
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NE, so wind from the SW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
A harbour, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NE. Wind from the NE blows onshore, wind from the SW blows out to sea, and wind from the SE or NW runs along the shore. We found no boat hire, sailing school or club within 10 km on the map, so bring your own boat here. No town nearby. Nearest beds: Saariselkä, 52 km. Nearest airport: Ivalo Airport (IVL), 68 km.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
