Harri Ahonen and Aada Ala-Tala have traveled the entire St. Olav’s route from Savonlinna to Åland and written a book on the subject.
The Norwegian Viking king Olav Haraldsson, or St. Olavi, has also left his mark in Finland. Now a hiking route is coming in his footsteps from Savonlinna in Finland to Åland.
Cry was St. Olavi, after whom several churches in Finland and even Olavinlinna in Savonlinna are named?
Olav was not a sloppy guy, he characterizes Harri Ahonen norwegian viking Olav Haraldssonia (ca. 995–1030), who later became St. Olavi.
