In English:
We went on a road trip and met reindeers
Background information.
I know that the title is not the best, but I wanted to point out that during this road trip to the northern parts of Finland, we met reindeers everywhere! The explanation for this is that the area belongs to the northeastern reindeer herding area which is larger than the northwestern area. In 2019, there were 4461 reindeer smashes although due to modern technique to warn about collisions of reindeers. This is so called the reindeer alarm application called in Finnish Porokello. Cons of Porokello (personal opinion): Gives a false feeling of security. Overall ratings of this application are for and against based on the user experiences. Many oncoming cars blinked their headlights to warn about reindeer – it worked great!
General information.
The length of our trip was 2413km / 1499mi. It lasted 10 nights / 11 days. We spent one week in a rented summer cottage by the lake Polojärvi in the north. It was a fully equipped two-storied round log house and its jetty was very cool to sit in it in the afternoon and evenings. Silence was palpable. No sounds of a motorboats or personal watercrafts from the lake disturbed the peace! We visited also Kuusamo, Arctic Circle, Suomussalmi, Kemijärvi (two nights) and one night in Iisalmi on the return trip. On the way we drove 783km / 487mi straight to our destination.
Refutation of that reindeers eat only reindeer lichen. This what I have been taught. In practice we saw that they eat various green plants and their delicacy is fireweed or great willowherb known also rosebay.
Were there a lot of mosquitoes? Not so much! It was amazing because it was claimed in the south! Temperature varied between 15°C / 59°F to 26°C / 79°F. Rainy days: one day partly rain. Some cloudy days yes. General feeling: Successful vacation. Photos taken about 800. Pros: Pure nature, nearby lake, friendly cute reindeers, row boat, gorgeous jetty, peaceful place, own peace, hiking possibilities at 4km / 2.5mi. Cons: car needed, nearest place of shopping at 48km / 30mi.
This post:
This post shows you that reindeer are curious. One morning when preparing our breakfast, I heard some kind of sounds of “footsteps” outside. I went to the window and saw one reindeer coming to the terrace. I shouted, my wife that get quickly your phone open and start shooting photos about it. At same time I searched my camera and took few photos. We were not prepared to this action, but we learnt that they organize surprises. This was a real surprise! One day when we went out, the whole reindeer family (5) was waiting for us at the tool shed, lying down in the shade under the birches. I was surprises and shot my first photos “too late”. We couldn’t guess that they wanted to introduce us to their fawns. What lovely little rogues!
Reindeer are always owned by someone!
En español:
Hicimos un viaje por carretera y nos encontramos renos
Información de contexto.
Sé que el título no es el mejor, pero quería señalar que durante este viaje por carretera al norte de Finlandia, ¡nos encontramos con renos en todas partes! La explicación de esto es que el área pertenece al área de pastoreo de renos del noreste, que es más grande que el área del noroeste. En 2019, hubo 4461 choques de renos aunque gracias a la tecnología moderna advertimos a los automovilistas sobre posibles colisiones de renos. Esto se llama la aplicación de alarma de renos llamada en finlandés Porokello. Contras de Porokello (opinión personal): Da una falsa sensación de seguridad. Las calificaciones generales de esta aplicación están a favor y en contra de las experiencias del usuario. Muchos autos que se acercaban parpadearon para advertir sobre los renos: ¡funcionó muy bien!
Información general.
La longitud de nuestro viaje fue de 2413 km. Duró 10 noches / 11 días. Pasamos una semana en una cabaña de verano alquilada junto al lago Polojärvi en el norte. Fue una casa de troncos redonda de dos pisos totalmente equipada y su embarcadero fue muy agradable para sentarse en la tarde y la noche. El silencio era palpable. ¡Ningún sonido de lanchas motoras o embarcaciones personales por el lago no perturbó la paz! También visitamos Kuusamo, el Círculo Polar Ártico, Suomussalmi, Kemijärvi (dos noches) y una noche en Iisalmi en el viaje de regreso. En el camino condujimos 783km / 487mi directamente a nuestro destino.
La refutación de que los renos comen solo líquenes de reno. Esto es lo que me han enseñado. En la práctica, vimos que comen varias plantas verdes y su delicadeza es el epilobio o la adelfilla.
¿Habían muchos mosquitos? No mucho! ¡Fue increíble porque fue reclamado en el sur! La temperatura varió entre 15 ° C / 59 ° F a 26 ° C / 79 ° F. Días lluviosos: un día parcialmente lluvioso. Algunos días nublados sí. Sentimiento general: vacaciones exitosas. Fotos sacadas alrededor de 800. Pros: Naturaleza pura, lago cercano, simpáticos renos, bote de remos, embarcadero hermoso, lugar tranquilo, paz propia, posibilidades de senderismo a 4 km / 2.5 mi.Contras: se necesita coche, el lugar de compras (centro comercial) más cercano a 48 km.

Esta publicación le muestra que los renos son curiosos. Una mañana, mientras al preparar nuestro desayuno, escuché una especie de pasos afuera. Fui a la ventana y vi un reno que venía a la terraza. Grité a mi esposa que abriría rápidamente tu teléfono y comenzaría a tomarles fotos. Al mismo tiempo, busqué mi cámara y tomé algunas fotos. No estábamos preparados para esta acción, pero nos aprendimos de que organizan sorpresas. ¡Fue una verdadera sorpresa! Un día, cuando salimos, toda la familia de renos (5) nos estaba esperando en el cobertizo de herramientas, descansando a la sombra de los abedules. Me sorprendió y tomé mis primeras fotos “demasiado tarde”. No pudimos adivinar que querían presentarnos a sus terneros de reno. ¡Qué adorables pícaros!
¡Los renos siempre son propiedad de alguien!
En francais:
Nous avons fait un voyage en voiture et avons rencontré des rennes
Informations d’arrière-plan.
Je sais que le titre n’est pas le meilleur, mais je tenais à préciser que lors de ce road trip dans le nord de la Finlande, on a croisé des rennes partout! L’explication en est que la zone appartient à la zone d’élevage de rennes du nord-est qui est plus grande que la zone nord-ouest. En 2019, il y a eu 4461 collisions de rennes,bien que grâce à une technique moderne prévenir les automobilistes sur collisions possible de rennes. C’est ce qu’on appelle l’application d’alarme de rennes appelée en finnois Porokello. Inconvénients de Porokello (mon opinion personnelle): Donne un faux sentiment de sécurité. Les estimation globale de cette application sont pour et contre basées sur les expériences de l’utilisateurs. De nombreuses voitures venant en sens inverse ont clignoté leurs phares mettent en garde contre les rennes – cela a très bien fonctionné!
Informations générales.
La longueur de notre voyage était de 2413 km / 1499mi. Cela a duré 10 nuits / 11 jours. Nous avons passé une semaine dans un chalet d’été loué au bord du lac Polojärvi dans le nord. C’était une maison en rondins à deux étages entièrement équipée et sa jetée était fantastique pour s’y asseoir l’après-midi et le soir. Le silence était palpable. Aucun bruit de bateaux à moteur ou de motomarines du lac n’a dérangé pas la paix! Nous avons également visité Kuusamo, le cercle polaire arctique, Suomussalmi, Kemijärvi (deux nuits) et une nuit à Iisalmi au retour. Sur le chemin, nous avons conduit 783 km / 487 mi directement jusqu’à notre destination.
La réfutation du fait que les rennes ne mangent que du lichen de renne.C’est ce que j’ai appris. Dans la pratique, nous avons vu qu’ils mangent diverses plantes vertes et que leur délicatesse est antoinette, épilobe en épi, épilobe à feuilles étroites, laurier de Saint-Antoine ou épilobe.
Y avait-il beaucoup de moustiques? Pas tellement! C’était incroyable car c’était affirmé dans le sud! La température variait entre 15 ° C / 59 ° F et 26 ° C / 79 ° F. Jours pluvieux: un jour partiellement pluvieux. Quelques jours nuageux oui. Sentiment général: vacances réussies. Photos prises environ 800. Avantages: nature pure, lac à proximité, rennes sympathiques et mignons, bateau à rames, magnifique jetée, endroit paisible, calme, possibilités de randonnée à 4 km. Inconvénients: voiture nécessaire, magasin le plus proche à 48 km / 30mi.

Cet article vous montre que les rennes sont curieux. Un matin, en préparant notre petit-déjeuner, j’ai entendu des sortes de bruits de pas à l’extérieur. Je suis allé à la fenêtre et j’ai vu un renne venir sur la terrasse. J’ai crié à ma femme qu’elle ouvrirait le téléphone rapidement son téléphone et qu’elle commencerait à prendre des photos d’eux. En même temps, j’ai fouillé mon appareil photo et pris quelques photos. Nous n’étions pas préparés à cette action, mais nous avons appris qu’ils organisent des surprises. C’était une vraie surprise! Un jour quand nous avions sorti, toute la famille des rennes (5) nous attendait au entrepôt d’outils, allongée à l’ombre sous les bouleaux. J’en étais baba et j’ai pris mes premières photos “trop tard”. Nous ne pouvions pas deviner qu’ils voulaient nous présenter leurs faons. Quels beaux petits lurons!

A duração da nossa viagem foi de 2413 km / 1499mi. Durou 10 noites / 11 dias. Passamos uma semana em uma cabana de verão alugada no lago Polojärvi, no norte. Era uma casa de madeira redonda de dois andares, totalmente equipada, e o seu cais era muito legal para ficar sentado à tarde e à noite. O silêncio era palpávell. Nenhum som de barcos a motor ou veículos aquáticos pessoais do lago perturbou a paz! Também visitamos em Kuusamo, no Círculo Ártico, em Suomussalmi, em Kemijärvi (duas noites) e uma noite em Iisalmi na volta. Na viagem de ida, dirigimos 783 km / 487mi direto para o nosso destino.
A refutação de que as renas comem apenas líquen. Isto é o que me ensinaram. Na prática, vimos que eles comem várias plantas verdes e a sua iguaria é Epilobium angustifolium.
Havia muitos mosquitos lá? Não muito! Foi incrível porque foi alegado no sul! A temperatura variou entre 15 ° C / 59 ° F e 26 ° C / 79 ° F. Os dias chuvosos: um dia parcialmente chuvoso. Alguns dias chuvosos sim. Sensação geral: férias de sucesso. Fotos tiradas aproximadamente 800. Prós: A natureza pura, um lago nas proximidades, as renas fofas e amigáveis, um barco a remo, um cais lindo, local tranquilo, paz própria, possibilidades de caminhadas a 4km.Contras: um carro ou taxi é necessário, o centro comercial mais próximo a 48km / 30mi.

It seems to me you have as much trouble with the reindeer as we have with the deer. They have a real pest in our little towns. They even go into our gardens to destroy our vegetables and the road kills are happening very often on our highways in Canada. Thank you for another great post, Sartenada!
Comment by Peter Klopp — August 18, 2020 @ 06:31 |
Hello Peter.
Thank you leaving your kind comment. I do not know, if reindeer destroy plants as much deer, because reindeer live in our northern areas, but of course your words contains truth.
Have a great day!

Comment by Cathy — August 18, 2020 @ 08:14 |
Hello.
It was also us an experience. We have met them everywhere in the north, but this was a big surprise us to follow their life so near. Thank you for your kind comment.
Have a great day!
Comment by Sartenada — August 18, 2020 @ 08:20 |
Hello. There are many contact accidents between reindeer and cars in Finland. In Japan, there are many contact accidents with deer.
I was surprised that reindeer are not afraid of humans. Some Japanese deer are not afraid of humans, but many deer seem afraid of humans.So when they encounter humans they run away.Have a good day!

Hello Mr Matti,
It must have been an incredible experience indeed, to be “surprised” by the reindeer at such a close distance! Really amazing and I’m happy to view some of it through your photos. As it’s almost impossible to travel now, I greatly enjoy your photo adventures 🙂 Wishing you and all your family a safe week.
Comment by T Ibara Photo — August 18, 2020 @ 11:40 |
Hello Takami.
Following their life so near, was a lesson for us, who thought that we know “everything”. Thank you for your praising comment.
素敵な１日を！
Comment by Sartenada — August 18, 2020 @ 11:50 |
Hello (^^)
I enjoyed the reindeer’s friendly atmosphere.
I think the blinking of the headlights to inform the existence of reindeer is a very effective means.
I saw many deers when I went to work in Pennsylvania, USA. The local people were driving with care so that they would not collide with the car.
Have a good day.
Comment by saganhama — August 18, 2020 @ 11:42 |
Hello Saganhama.
Blinking is excellent warning for fellow drivers. It is a funny thing – in south there are traffic cameras, in north reindeer do their works. Thank you very much for your kind words,
すばらしい日を過してください!
Comment by Sartenada — August 18, 2020 @ 11:54 |
They look lovely and really seem curious. Would they interfere with your washing if you hung it out,I wonder?
I love this cabin, however if you forgot to bring anything ( food or toilet rolls) it is rather a long way to shop. So I guess organisation is the key. Still well worth it in my opinion when you get such peace and a great view, right in the middle of nature. Really lovely photos.
Comment by utesmile — August 18, 2020 @ 12:07 |
Hello Ute.
While washing, they were hidden somewhere. Thank you leaving your praising comment.

This looked like such a wonderful trip and seeing reindeer must have been very exciting. Amazing photos of the reindeer roaming. They looked like they didn’t mind having you around. Seems like worth the car trip and very scenic location too. Hope you are doing well.

Hello Mabel.
This road trip to northern-eastern part of Finland was successful for us. Spending one week on a rented summer cottage completed it great. We also hiked, visited to couple other places worth of a visit and enjoyed our lives.
Have a great day!

What fun to open your curtains and find a reindeer out on your terrace. The cottage looks gorgeous and I’d love to stay somewhere like that. Best wishes, Marion

Bonjour Michel.
Je vous remercie vivement pour votre si gentil commentaire. Je suis content que tu aies aimé mes photos. Tous ces animaux appartiennent à quelqu’un, c’est-à-dire que des animaux d’élévage!
Bonne journée à vous.

Wonderful photos, Matti. Do the reindeer shed their coats in summer, like our bison? It looks as though some might be; they’re such handsome animals.
Comment by shoreacres — August 19, 2020 @ 02:55 |
Hello Linda.
Yes, they do. Therefore, they are multicolored, turning white towards winter, but not all. Thank you for your kind comment.
Have a wonderful day!
Comment by Sartenada — August 19, 2020 @ 08:49 |
This sounds like a wonderful trip. And seeing so many reindeer must have been very special. I really liked them when I visited different Scandinavian countries a looong time ago. Thank you for sharing.
Best wishes,
Tanja

I’m so jealous! I want reindeer in my porch.
Wonderful photos.

Hello Rivergirl.
There is no need to be jealous. Every country offers their own specialties. Thank you.

Interesting reading – thank you. What do you mean by “Reindeer are always owned by someone!” please?

Comment by robertcday — August 22, 2020 @ 10:12 |
Hello Robert.
Thank you commenting ad making a question. Well, maybe this clarifies it:
Originally: “Reindeer are always owned by someone”. Let’s change the word reindeer with the word car.
Changed: “Cars are always owned by someone”.
Happy weekend.
Comment by Sartenada — August 22, 2020 @ 10:18 |
Thanks, but maybe I wasn’t clear enough. The words I should have used were: who owns these reindeer that you speak of?
Happy weekend to you too. 🙂
Comment by robertcday — August 22, 2020 @ 10:29 |
Well, thank you.
I should have said this: The reindeer is a semi-domesticated animal and Sámi people breed them.

Comment by Sartenada — August 22, 2020 @ 10:54 |
Ah, so it’s those people that own then. Thanks for clarifying – appreciated. 🙂

I enjoyed the photos, it looks as though the reindeer wanted to check and see who their new neighbors were. 😁

You always have good adventures!
Do you know why one reindeer has a collar and some device on his neck? Is it for tracking, perhaps?
Comment by Yvonne — August 28, 2020 @ 09:33 |
Hello Yvonne.
I waited for this question. Thank you asking it and loving my pics. The group leader has a bell. In this case, it was a lady reindeer who had it on neck and other follow her. As I have told earlier somebody owns reindeer. Reading this, you know more:

Sartenada – How wonderful for you that your camera was handy to get these shots. It is hard to say which one I liked best, maybe the first one that you showcased, looking in the door as if to say “well, don’t just stand there, let me in, okay?” I was sorry I didn’t get to “meet” the reindeer at the Christmas in July event at the Farm at Heritage Park due to the very hot day, but since I got such a close-up of these reindeer, I don’t feel so badly now. I had no idea they had such large antlers – and both male and females it seems, unlike our bucks and does (deer) here. The youngsters are worth showing off – the fawns with their stubby little antlers and the fur growing in patches … sweet and quite big babies. Thank you for sending me the link to see the reindeer post.
Comment by Linda Schaub — September 13, 2020 @ 02:23 |
Hello Linda.
Wow, what a lovely comment. Thank you. I could give two more amazing reindeer in winter links, but I don’t do it without your permission. 🙂 This is due to that I have offered you “too” links. BTW, in my school, I had in the same class room a pupil with the same family name than you have. Thank you.
Have a wonderful day!
Comment by Sartenada — September 13, 2020 @ 10:21 |
My father was from Germany, so maybe they were from Germany originally too. I think it may be a common name there, but here not so much. You are already fast asleep and I am here much too late.
Comment by Linda Schaub — September 14, 2020 @ 05:27 |
Thank you, Linda.
Schaub is not common name here. The exact number is not revealed, but few is correct expression. During my work history I have been happy to work together with German people. During my blogging history I have been also lucky to read their comment. They are faithful commentators and their writings are fantastic.
I wish you a great day.
Comment by Sartenada — September 14, 2020 @ 06:42 |
I just started interacting with a woman blogger from Berlin recently. That is one nice thing about blogging here … you get to meet people from all over the world. My father was from Frankfurt, Germany. I do not know where he is now – he decided he did not want to be part of the family any more and took off in 1984 (but not before he took all the money out of the bank and an annuity account, leaving my mother penniless. Thankfully the house was paid for and I lived at home – I have no siblings (or any family – I say that as I am you blog … I don’t publicize that fact on my own blog, though I suspect people have figured it out). I do not speak German – he never taught me how to speak German. I took French for years, including when I grew up in Canada before we moved to the U.S. in 1966, but I really don’t remember much of the French I learned.
Comment by Linda Schaub — September 15, 2020 @ 01:29 |
OMG, Linda.
I am sorry for you when reading this. We know Frankfurt quite well. This is the fact that went many times, during the years, to buy clothes there. Their clothes are high quality, cheap and they fit all type of bodies. This was the real reason to my wife, because in my country she could not get easily suitable clothes for her body type – too long, too large etc. Nowadays the situation has become better. Thank you.
Have a good day!
Comment by Sartenada — September 15, 2020 @ 06:43 |
Matti – I have always been tall, even when I was a teenager and not only did I tower over my parents, but it was hard to get long-enough pants and my sleeves were always short. I started sewing my own clothes, but things improved when clothing manufacturers figured out all women were not 5’6″ (167 cms) tall.
Comment by Linda Schaub — September 16, 2020 @ 04:27 |
Hello Linda.
Oh see. In Finland, the situation is the opposite. There are always suitable clothes for tall people, but not for short ones. Thank you again!
Have a good day!
Comment by Sartenada — September 16, 2020 @ 10:41 |
That is amusing isn’t it Matti- are more Finns tall than short? You were tall in your photo from six years ago when you turned 70.
Comment by Linda Schaub — September 17, 2020 @ 03:57 |
Hello Linda.
Finnish humor: Happily, I am so long, that my feet reach the floor!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 The youth are long, I am not. Thank you.
