Highlights
- Kummakivi Boulder - Kummakivi is a large balancing rock in Ruokolahti, Finland. A remnant from the last ice age, the 7-meter long boulder lies on a convex bedrock surface with a very small footprint but so firmly that it cannot be rocked with human force. Kummakivi has been protected since 1962. A pine tree originating from the 1980s grows on top of the boulder.
Duration includes 1hr driving time to location.
- Olavinlinna Castle - Olavinlinna Castle is one of the best-known sights in Finland. Olavinlinna is a 15th-century three-tower castle located in Savonlinna, Finland. It is built on an island in the Kyrönsalmi Strait that connects the lakes Haukivesi and Pihlajavesi. It is the northernmost medieval stone fortress still standing.
