必看景點

1 The geographical centre of Finland (Leskelä village). This is the centre of gravity (including islands but not the sea). The official monument is at a crossroads, right next to highway 4 in Leskelä village of Siikalatva municipality. The true point is a bit off the road, in a swamp. If you take the mean of the extreme latitudes and longitudes, you end up in Liminka instead. (updated Mar 2021)
