Finland Hunting Sports
In order to hunt in Finland each hunter
must have:
• A Finnish hunting card
• Hunting rights or a hunting permit granted by a land owner or holder of hunting rights.
• A firearms licence.
• For hunting cervine and bear, you need a pass certificate of a shooting test.
• For certain species of game, a huning licence is required.
Everyone who wishes to hunt must pay a game management fee to the state each hunting year. In order to obtain a Finnish hunting card, a foreign hunter must present a hunting card valid in his native country or some other certificate of his right to hunt in his own country.
A foreigner intending to hunt in Finland should find out while still in his native country how and for what game he can obtain a hunting permit. The fees vary widely depending on the game animal species and the area.
Heaps of snow ensures that Lapland is one of the most sought after place for skiing; it has some of the best ski resorts. The place is best known for downhill and cross-country skiing. Well kept, long slopes make Lapland an attractive downhill skiing area. The excellent supporting services guarantee a successful downhill skiing holiday. Everybody can find a slope of their liking, because the resorts clearly differ from one another and offer assorted skiing possibilities.
Cross-country skiing is also a popular winter activity. The beautiful nature of Lapland, dependable snow levels and well-groomed ski tracks makes cross-country skiing an enjoyable experience. One of the significant reasons for cross-country skiing being such a popular sport in Lapland is the reliable level of snow. The first trails are generally prepared at the end of October and more prepared throughout winter. Moreover, the ski season in Lapland is also very long.
Lappish people are known not only for their genuine friendliness, but also
for their incomparable inventiveness and Are great enthusiasm in constructing
buildings of snow. The SnowCastle of Kemi in Lapland is a magnificent example
of the great talent and skills of local architects and their builders. Lapland
is also the home of Santa Claus, he resides in a village called Rovaniemi,
tourists flock the village all year round.
There is also a park dedicated to Santa Claus, it is known as The Santa Park,
it’s a great place to unwind, it is a hit with both the young and old. Lapland
has whole lot of things circling around Santa, like the Santa Claus post office,
letters addressed to Santa Claus from all over the world reach here all through
out the year. Since Lapland is in the Arctic Circle, tourists also get to
view an amazing natural phenomenon - The Northern Lights. A spectrum of colours
engulfing the night sky at night makes a spectacular sight.
Observing the phenomenon of Northern Lights is taken up as a hobby in Finland,
the person who wants to observe the northern lights is totally at the mercy
of natural conditions. Winds can also be very capricious. Often the evening
seems to be quite promising but just when the northern lights start to appear,
the clouds too show their presence and cover the sky. But one should not get
despaired by that sight, as on many occasions they also get ward off immediately.
Northern lights are also popularly referred as Auroras, with an increase in
artificial lights, viewing at times gets difficult. Nowadays, all towns and
small villages have street lights and even private houses have bright lights
in the garden.
The extent of light pollution also makes observation of the aurora very difficult.
The same problem is faced while observing the stars.- In principle, the light
of the aurora is weaker than the light of stars, so if no stars are visible
it usually means that the northern lights cannot be seen either. No special
observation equipment is needed in the simplest case, except one’s own eyes.
Binoculars or telescopes are suitable for observing the stars, the moon and
comets but they are not of any use when watching the aurora.
If someone wants to take photographs of the aurora one should posses a camera
with necessary accessories because while dealing with a spectacular natural
phenomenon, such as the northern lights, which is affected by many factors,
one has to face many adversities. Photographing the aurora is also taken up
as a hobby in this part of the country, but it demands lot of dedication on
the part of the photographer.
