Sormikivi erratic
Sormikivi is Parkano's largest boulder. The stone on the shore of Kaidatvedet consists of pink granite of local origin.
The stone was born during the last ice age, when the continental glacier detached the stone from the bedrock and transported it with the glacier to its current location. The stone's angular shape indicates that its migration distance was relatively short. In folklore, the stone is said to have been thrown to its current location by a giant.
Sormikivi is located along the Käpykintukka nature trail, on the shore of Kaidatvedet.
