Nunnavuori, Stone grave hill in Kakskerta, Turku, Finland.

The Nunnavuori hill reaches a height of 63 meters, featuring a nature reserve with a boulder field on its summit between Runosmäki and Impivaara.

During the Ice Age, the entire hill was covered by glaciers, which upon melting transformed the area into a beach environment, forming smooth rocks.

The name Nunnavuori derives from regional dialect meaning giant, reflecting local tales of ancient beings who placed large boulders across the landscape.

Visitors can reach the archaeological site using bus line 18, with the nearest stop being Signalistinkaari, and explore the surrounding hiking trails.

The hill contains a geological formation known as pirunpelto, a boulder field that documents the Baltic Sea's historical stages of development.
