Saraakallio rock paintings, Rock painting site on Lake Saraavesi, Finland.
The rock formation rises 40 meters above Lake Saraavesi, displaying over 100 primitive paintings across two distinct art areas on the eastern shoreline.
The paintings date back approximately 7,000 years, representing the largest continuous area of prehistoric images discovered in Northern Europe and Scandinavia.
The red ochre paintings depict deer, human figures, boats, snakes, handprints, and geometric patterns, reflecting the life of early hunter-gatherer communities.
Visitors can access the site by boat from Laukaa Harbor during summer, located 3 kilometers away, or by walking on marked ice routes in winter.
The number of visible figures varies significantly between observers, with trained specialists identifying dozens more paintings than casual visitors in the same area.
