Really interesting natural phenomenon. Deep, max 10 m and over 1 m wide potholes or giant kettles in the rock. Almost 20 of them in rather steep slope. Also nice views from the top of the hill. Not much to walk, about 1 km, but slippery and difficult path. Especially on a rainy day. Wet rocks. Suggest to go straight to potholes and come back by the scenic path. Really breathtaking place. The biggest sinkhole is one of the largest in the whole world. 4mx10.5m. Extraordinary place that it's a must visit. This location would need little bit care and a better campfire place, like a hut. This one that there is now, it is not so good. It gets wet easily and it's hard to grill in the winter. Not suitable for wheelchairs. A very nice little treck in beautifull natural surroundings. The views from the hillside and the deep round holes cut directly in to the rocks by nature are amazing. Many of the holes are full of water in the winter so their depth is not so apparent. Visitors with little children be advised that kids need constant supervision, however the hike itself is not challenging and there are good railings and sturdy stairs to aid visits with even small children. I would reccomend this as a very nice place to take in the outdoors. Sehr schön aber nicht behindertengerecht ( Wanderweg) Easy parking, short hike but lots of stairs and rocky ground. We went after a few days of rain so lots of muddy spots and bugs. Bring bug repellent. The views were beautiful. I would like it again. 4€ a family When you reach the junction with a sign showing both ways with arrows, take right for a nice walk around the hill before reaching the potholes. If you take the left, then you'll reach the potholes first. Very nice place for the curious. Make mobilepay app ready on your phone in advance otherwise payment can be difficult. Adults 2€, children 1€ and family 4€. An area well curated and preserved. Best visited when it has not been raining - some rocks that formed those glacial shapes will be visible at the bottom. Upea paikka. Ei huonojalkaisille. Potholes are on the steep of a cliff, you can look at all of them in 15 minutes time. The path to the potholes is through the wood on the back of the cliffs, marked with blue ribbons, and it takes about 10 minutes. The parking lot is easy to reach and wide enough. Ledus laikmeta atkāpšanās liecinieks - kušanas rezultātā klintīs izveidojušās pat līdz 10 m dziļas "bļodiņas". Kopskaitā aptuveni 20. Luonnon ihmeitä ja vaikuttavuutta, ei voi muuta kuin ihastella! There is an honest system to pay €2 each. I’d bring some cash. You can do a loop walk around the area, down by the river and up around the rocks. Ein kleiner Pfad führt durch den Wald zum Startpunkt. Schon dieser Waldweg ist sehenswert, obwohl neben der Straße gelegen, hat man das Gefühl, die finnische Wildnis zu erkunden. Vorbei an Flechten, Kiefern und Pilzen geht es über Steine und Wurzeln, weshalb Trittsicherheit und festes Schuhwerk empfehlenswert sind. Blaue Bänder an den Baumstämmen weisen den Weg. Immer wieder gibt es Aussichtspunkte. Beim Zugang zu den Gletschertöpfen wird ein kleines Eintrittsgeld für die Instandhaltung erbeten. (Kind 1€, Erwachsene 2€, Familie 4€). Auf dem Pfad rund um die Gesteinsformationen ist an oder nach regnerischen Tagen Vorsicht geboten, da der Untergrund sehr rutschig sein kann. Die Handläufe unterstützen dabei etwas. Wer sich gerne auf naturnahen Pfaden bewegt, wird sich hier an der Pflanzen- und Tierwelt erfreuen und erhält einen interessanten Einblick in die Erdgeschichte. A very beautiful place – I highly recommend it 100%! Don’t just follow the marked points on the map, but also take the trails marked with blue ribbons, both along the mountain ridge and down below. From the bottom, you’ll get an impressive view of the cliffs. Never been here before. I always thought that there are just couple of holes on the ground. But yes and no, these holes are worth of seeing, the powers of nature and time. And these holes are even noticeable globally.
