Inari - Pielppajärvi Church

A walk of 7.5km/4.5mi to the northeast of Inari leads to the old Sami church of Pielppajärvi (originally 17th century; rebuilt 1762). In earlier times the Sami had to bury their dead on islands in the lake, since the bears which were still numerous in the 19th century used to dig up the graves.
