Hirvi-Simunan luola

The cave system contains multiple entrances and passages formed beneath a collection of large glacial boulders at the slope of Lehtivuori.

The cave received its name from a hunter called Hirvi-Simuna who lived near Höytämöjärvi lake in the mid-nineteenth century.

Local folklore includes stories about Hirvi-Simuna making a pact with the devil to gain supernatural shooting abilities for hunting birds.

Visitors need to crawl through certain sections of the cave system, and the main path to reach it starts from the end of Taavetintie road.

The protected natural formation emerged when an enormous glacial erratic boulder split into fragments, creating spaces between the rock pieces.
