F.G. W. Struve used in his calculations the measurements made in 265 main and 65 subsidiary station points. The measurement points described on this site run from Fuglenes, Norway to Ulkokrunni, Finland. The Northern parts of the Struve Geodetic Arc include 40 main station points out of 265 included in the Unesco World Heritage nomination list. All of the main station points are not World Heritage Sites. Despite that, they have an interesting history and can be surrounded by beautiful nature.
