Pontoon bridge to the Olavinlinna Castle in Savonlinna (Finland)

A young maiden was immured alive into the Olavnlinna castle wall as a punishment for treason. Later a beautiful rowan tree started to grow at the location of her execution. The rowan tree had white flowers which symbolized the girl's innocence and red berries, red as the girl's blood.
