Svanvik border station
[edit]Svanvik has one of the border guard stations on the Norway–Russia border, but it is not a border crossing station. From Svanvik, they keep an eye on, among other things, the Russian mining town of Nikel, which is only 9 km (5.6 mi) from Svanvik (but 84 km (52 mi) by car). Like Skogfoss and Gjøkåsen, Svanvik is located by the Paatsjoki river. The station bears the name of the village in which it is located and is part of the community.
