As we&#8217;re already established there are three of them and I just finished to touristy one. So the trip is finished concerning the fixed plans. I met D. in Stockholm and visited &#8220;the&#8221; North Cape. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/anditainment.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/wpid-IMG_6591.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"IMG_6591.JPG\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/anditainment.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/wpid-IMG_6591.jpg\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>I turned up at 14:30 and there was still somebody sitting inside it. Luckily Eva and Hekki told me that it&#8217;s for free after the opening hours of the cinema (dafuq?) and the restaurant. So I turned around and returned an hour later. The guy was just stepping outside the booth and made a gesture I didn&#8217;t understand. Since he didn&#8217;t try to stop me I just drove on and he seemed reasonably fine with it. Later I found out that just entering the area is 20\u20ac and &#8220;all area access&#8221; to the facility is 30\u20ac. Per person.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/anditainment.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/wpid-IMG_6607.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"IMG_6607.JPG\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/anditainment.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/wpid-IMG_6607.jpg\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The same trick as with the arctic circle: Just show some GPS coordinates and you're legally safe concerning the little problem that it is not the real deal....<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As far as capes go this is quite a usual one, it&#8217;s windy, there&#8217;s nothing to see but ocean on one side and you got a nice little cliff on which you&#8217;re standing. Tourists playing around with the monument (some globe), taking zillions of pictures. The facility is quite large, a restaurant seating 200 and an auditorium for 300 (if I remember right). So yeah, you can do some business meetup over here as well. All in all it&#8217;s quite boring, more an item to cross of some list than anything special. Tomorrow I&#8217;ll maybe try the worlds most northern hiking trail if the weather is not too rough. At least the end of the trail didn&#8217;t look too interesting.<\/p>\n<p><div style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/anditainment.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/wpid-IMG_6581.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"IMG_6581.JPG\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/anditainment.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/wpid-IMG_6581.jpg\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Some place nearby which is further north than the north cape...<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nAll in all I share the opinion of the people I asked about it: Not a recommendation, it&#8217;s no use going there. Especially in Summer because the payment booth is open until 2am or so and in Autumn because it&#8217;s 150km north of the tree line so there&#8217;s not much going on concerning colors&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The one thing qualifying as a sight over here (besides all the beautiful nature, Townes, islands, &#8230;) is the most northern point of continental Europe.
