  • The nature trail at Öjberget

    Öjbergintie 98

    Welcome to a walk from the Öjbergsmossen bog to a giant’s pot hole and over a devil’s field to the dwarfed pinetree-covered meteorite-crater rim of Söderfjärden

    Öjberget is located in Sundom, at a 9 km distance from the centre of Vaasa. The trail is 2,5 km long  and the starting point is beside a big information board in Öjberget´s stadium area.

    Öjberget is a unique ”mountain landscape” for the Ostrobothnian coast, with its highest point at an elevation of 50 metres. It is a magically rocky landscape with very old dwarfed pine trees, dramatic rocky formations, a giant’s kettle, and an ancient shore area called the Devil’s Field

    The most ancient traces of human activity in the area of Vaasa are also found here. The findings originate from the Stone Age about 4,000 years ago.

    In the outlook tower(+65 m a.s.l.) on the top of the slalom hill there are info boards about what you see in different directions: the meteorite impact crater Söderfjärden, the Kvarken archipelago, the village of Sundom and the centre of Vaasa.

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.

  • Vuoressalo

    Kuivilantie 174, Isokyrö

    In Vuoressalo, the hiker can ascend from the fields to the top of the majestic white cliffs amidst nature. The cliffs conceal much to see and experience in their shadows. In Vuoressalo, there are many peculiar rock formations, the origins of which have been the subject of speculation over the years. On the current basic map of the area, for example, there is a location called “pakouuni,” a place that, according to legend, is a low, built wall that the farmers participating in the club wars of the 16th century constructed as protection. At the site, there is a natural crack in the rock that forms an approximately 2-meter-high vault. The area is marked by superstition, and these places have not been daringly investigated thoroughly by the locals.

    • Starting point: Kuivilantie 174. Parking is available on the opposite side of the road from the starting point. Do not park on the road.
    • Length: Two approximately 2 km circular routes
    • Difficulty: Easy
