Wanderung vom Julma Ölkky nach Värikallio
Tour / hiking / bike / ski / Hiking
If you are interested in 5000-year-old rock paintings, you should drive to the car park at Julma Ölkky and walk to Värikallio. Mind you, rock painting - not rock carving. To this day it is unclear what color composition was used to paint here. The colors were able to survive for thousands of years because a transparent silicate layer formed over the drawings as a result of leaching. The paintings on the rocks, which can only be reached from the water, were only discovered 35 years ago and since then scientists have been puzzled over their origin and meaning, because they range from 20 cm above the water level to a height of 2.5 meters. Quite apart from the goal of the hike, the way there is not to be scoffed at either, because it leads through a unique and almost untouched Finnish landscape.
