The crowd of almost thousand figures that make up the Silent People suddenly emerges before the passing motorist like some great stroke of magic. In the morning with light behind them, this motionless army appears morose, even menacing. However, as the day progresses their countenance brightens up and with the setting of the sun they present a distincly jolly and colourful picture. When the wind blows their straw hair and clothes begin to flap rhythmically, it is as if they had suddenly sprung into life.

It´s a really ordinary place to travel. There are lots of nice souvenirs to by in the Niitty - Kahvila (Cafeteria) shop. You might want to change one of Your favorite - clothe with Your own clothe, so please remember to take an extra clothing especially for the silent people! The fire made coffee and the pancakes are really delicious - and they are of course served on a wooden plate with the Finnish strawberry jelly - You cannot miss this place! And like this peace of art says - please take Your time, enjoy the special field view and enjoy the silent atmosphere.

Just great scenery to gorge. Very well guided hiking paths, not suitable if you are physically disabled, but paths aren't too difficult. Some stairs and broadwalks are broken and replaced at summer 2020. Easy to find, less than hour drive from Sotkamo adress is Hiidenportintie 86, it takes you to Palolampi parking place. Parking place turns left. End of the road is gravel.

The Kajaani Church is one of the most beautiful wooden churches in the country. It has been built in 1896 in Neo-Gothic style and designed by Johan Jacob Ahrenberg. It's in the site of the first Kajaani church from 1656.

There is not much left of the castle. There are some information boards, wich I recommend reading (finnish, swedish, english). We found this place very interesting and beautiful.
