The Battle of Suomussalmi in December 1939 was one of the most significant Finnish victories in the Winter War. Finnish forces destroyed two Soviet divisions in the surrounding forests, and the Raatteen Portti (Raate Gate) memorial and museum document the engagement. About 10,000 people live in this Kainuu municipality near the Russian border. The Silent People (Hiljainen Kansa) art installation - a field of over a thousand scarecrow-like figures along the highway - draws visitors to the remote location.
The surrounding wilderness supports brown bear populations. Hossan National Park, established in 2017 for Finland's centenary, lies to the north.
