Kivesvaara, Stone park and hiking area in Paltamo, Finland
At the summit of Kivesvaara hill, visitors encounter a collection of 40 rock samples that represent the geological composition of Finnish bedrock.
The meteorite discovered at Kivesvaara in May 1968 was classified as a CM2 carbonaceous chondrite, originating from the early Solar System formation.
Local mythology surrounding Kivesvaara includes tales of giants who inhabited the hill and threw rocks, influencing the design of nearby accommodations.
The stone park features a 300-meter accessible trail with gravel surfaces, making it suitable for both walking and wheelchair navigation.
From the hill's peak, visitors can view three municipal regions: Puolanga to the north, Kajaani to the south, and Vaala to the west.
