Ancient Mountains route

The route is connected to several side routes and plenty of structures in Teuva, Karijoki and Kristiinankaupunki. There are many interesting details and pleasant landscapes along the routes, even though the routes run through commercial forests. You will see the vast stone fields, gorges, rock walls, groves and rich flora with swamp areas shaped by the ice age. Along the route you will find:

• 4 observation towers
• 16 camp fire places
• 6 information points
• 8 possible starting points

There are interesting details in the surroundings of Kakkorinvuori, Peurajärvi and Susiluola. Kakkorinvuori has e.g. lookout tower, hut and nature guides.

Finland's largest cave has been discovered near Susivuori. What makes Susiluola amazing are the objects found there made by Neanderthal man 120,000 years ago! It is the oldest known place of residence in the Nordic countries. You can also peek into Susiluola - though through the fence.

In Karijoki, the route starts right near the center. It is about nine kilometers from the center of Teuva to Parra and about five kilometers to Pappilankangas. 

In Kristiinankaupunki, the unique Pyhävuori area is located approx. 15 km northeast of the center, where five mountain peaks rise clearly above the flat Ostrobothnia. The route of the ancient mountains also starts from here.
