The Tuomaanmäki area is a nature reserve that includes a Bronze Age burial mound. The mounds have been excavated, and stones have been removed. From one of them, apparently, all stones have been taken, leaving only a circular arrangement of stones locally referred to as “käräjäkivet” or judge’s circle. This is the origin of the place’s former name, Tuomarmäki. Tuomaanmäki is an environmentally and geographically splendid Bronze Age burial mound site with significant natural values. Along the route, hikers have the opportunity to explore ancient burial mounds, a “giant’s kettle” (which is not actually a giant’s kettle), diverse nature, and take a break at a campfire site. One of the stories from the mobile game “Tarinapolku” can be found here.
