Hämeenkangas

The Hämeenkangas was formed between two continental glacier flows during the final phase of the Weichselian glaciation, approx. 10,800 years ago. The Hämeenkangas is the western extension of the Central Finland marginal formation, but it also has features of a seam formation. The Central Finland Marginal Formation is the last large-scale marginal formation  created during the  retreat of the Fennoscandian continental glacier and is about 600 to 1500 years younger than Salpauselkä.

Sandstones from Lauhanvuori can be found in the ridge of Hämeenkangas. There are paleobeaches, terraces and dunes on the slopes. There is a geological exhibition in the nature and sports center of Jämi.
