Wolf Cave, Archaeological site in Kristinestad, Finland.
Wolf Cave consists of a deep crack formation in Pyhävuori mountain, featuring multiple geological layers and natural rock formations spanning several meters.
Archaeological excavations in 1996 revealed potential Neanderthal artifacts dating between 120,000 and 130,000 years ago, marking the northernmost discovery of such remains.
The cave holds a central position in Finnish archaeological research, representing a critical site for understanding prehistoric human settlements in Northern Europe.
Visitors can access the cave through marked trails from Kristinestad, with informational panels explaining the geological and archaeological features along the path.
This archaeological site contains the only known possible evidence of Neanderthal presence in Nordic countries, documented through stone tools and other remnants.
