Mystinen Kummakivi - Mystical Odd Stone
Kummakivi on meille asti säilyneitä jääkauden ihmeitä noin 11–12 000 vuoden takaa. Kivi on rauhoitettu jo 1960-luvulla. Kiven päällä kasvaa kuulemma jo 30 vuotta vanha mänty. Mukava paikka vaikkapa perheen retkikohteeksi. Kummakivelle löytää, kun laittaa Ruokolahdella navigaattoriin Kummakiventien. Kannattaa ajaa ylös asti autojen kääntöpaikalle, josta lähtee vajaan kilometrin pituinen polku kivelle. Polun alussa sekä sitten perillä on opasteita, joista selviää kiven tarina. The Odd Stone is one of the wonders of the Ice Age and been in its' place approximately 11 – 12,000 years. There actually grows a 30 years old pine tree on top of the stone. A nice destination for family excursion. You'll find the Odd Stone when you put in the navigator Kummakiventie and Ruokolahti. I suggest that you drive all the way up to the cars' turning point and from there starts a path to the stone and the path is less than a kilometer long. Free of charge.

The coolest ever glacial erratic!
This is well worth a detour if you are in this part of Finland although it is NOT easy to find. Hopefully these directions will make it easier for anyone trying to find it in the future. Drive south from Puumala for about 10 km until you see a sign on the left to Muuramaki. It's a gravel road and you need to drive for about 10 km or 15 minutes. You need to look out for a tall telecommunications mast that isn't that easy to spot despite it's height. When you spot the mast you need to look for a signpost on the right of the road to Kummakiventie. Drive up that road a short way and you will see a further sign to Kummakivi. Follow that and you will come to a small carpark with a board describing the boulder. Follow the path through thick woods for about five minutes and then there it is! A truly phenomenal sight. There was no one else around and it is certainly a very cool thing to see and experience.

Natural wonder rock
This is a nature wonder, a big rock on top of stone ground. You can find there with a navigator by choosing Kummakiventie. From the beginning of the road it is less than a kilometer to the parking lot. Then walking a path less than a kilometer. Worth visiting although it is far away from any other attraction.
