Susiluola information center

Susiluola is located on the border of Karijoki and Kristiinankaupunki. It is one of the most important archaeological sites in Finland and tells about people's lives before the latest ice age. The dense floor surface of the cave and the stone tools are over 120,000 years old. The terrain of Susiluola with its surrounding nature also tells about its long history, the ice age and the stages after the ice age. You can peek in from the mouth of the cave, although for safety reasons you cannot enter the cave itself. In winter, the mouth of the cave is covered to protect the cave.

The Susiluola information center is located in the old town hall of Karijoki. The exhibition at the information center tells the story of Susiluola and gives an opportunity to get acquainted with the discoveries made there. The information center is open during the summer and features an exhibition on Susiluola, the geology, archeology and history of the area.
