Itinerary
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 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. Duration includes drive to Castle and break for lunch.
Punkaharju esker ridge has been an internationally known tourist destination already for two hundred years due to the natural beauty of its landscape. It is one of Finland's national landscapes and the beautiful lake views seen between its majestic pines are still the biggest attraction of the area. We will drive along ridge road famed for being one of the most beautiful drives in the world and stop at some viewpoints for pictures and walk on some trails (time and weather dependent). Duration includes time for stops and return drive to pick-up point.
