Kolmen valtakunnan rajapyykki (Treriksröset)
Kolmen valtakunnan rajapyykki (Treriksröset) is a Monument and Border Crossing at Finland–Norway–Sweden, Enontekiö–Kiruna–Storfjord, Sweden
Treriksröset is the point where the borders of Sweden, Norway and Finland meet, the northernmost tripoint in the world. Known as Treriksröset in Swedish, Treriksrøysa in Norwegian and Kolmen valtakunnan rajapyykki in Finnish, it is marked by a squat yellow concrete cairn standing in the shallow waters of Lake Koltajärvi. A wooden walkway leads out to it, and visitors can step between all three countries in a moment. It lies deep in the far north, reached by a long hike or a boat trip combined with a walk across open fell country, well away from any road. At around 69°N, deep in the auroral zone, the surrounding wilderness gives a superb dark-sky setting for the northern lights.

M/S Malla sekä M/S Maria -laivat liikennöivät kesäisin Kilpisjärveltä Koltalahteen, josta on vain enää 3 kilometrin kävelymatka Kolmen valtakunnan rajapyykille. Laivamatka kestää n. puoli tuntia.
