we will be staying in an apartment near Kajaani for 10 days beginning May 23. We will rent a car and would like to see the area. What do you recommend? Maybe a train to Lapland also?

Kajaani%26#39;s in Finland and you%26#39;ve posted in the Tallinn (Estonia) forum. No problem, a lot of the same people hang out in both forums.
Kajaani is an area of great natural beauty and not a whole lot else. Kajaani castle won%26#39;t delay you for long as it%26#39;s little more than a few ruined bits of wall. Most of the other tourist attractions in the town are of interest only to Finns, if anyone. In other words, a car will be a very good idea.
The surrounding area offers quite a lot for outdoorsy types. You can hike to the Russian border (where some naughty people slip across to pose for pictures on the %26#39;wrong%26#39; side), for example.

Thanks for your reply. We love nature, but will not be doing a lot of hiking. Is is worth it to drive or take a train to Lapland? If so, which is better?

If there%26#39;s some specific sight you%26#39;re keen to see in Lapland it might be worth the trip, but it%26#39;s not the best month for just admiring the scenery. On the other hand, you won%26#39;t have any problems with mosquitoes, unlike the warmer months.
The lakelands south of Kajaani are a better bet at that time of year, in my opinion.

Thank you so much. You have been extremely helpful.
