Behind God’s back but along the Karhunkierros trail
Neighboring villagers said that Virkkula is a village behind God’s back. The people of Virkkula, on the other hand, replied in a very Lapland way that how does one know which way the God is standing.
The village history of Virkkula is the history of the people of the border region with their evacuation trips. The village’s first houses are still standing on top of the hill. Virkkula is a village through which the legendary Karhunkierros trail passes.
