Orsa Finnmark

From Orsa Road 45 leads north into an inhospitable forest region, the Orsa Finnmark, which was settled by Finnish immigrants in the 17th century and still has many villages and hills with Finnish names, such as Pilkalampinoppi (644m/2,113ft; view) and Korpimäki (706m/2,316ft). Both of these hills, together with the Fågelsjö, lie within the Hamra National Park (27 hectares/70 acres), a heavily wooded area resembling a primeval forest.
