kierikki stone age centre

Everything is really good. The outside exhibition is really worth seeing. Take esppecially a guided tour.

The exhibition was brilliant. I learned what they were doing up north while the egyptians were building their pyramids. Also the row house of ancient times was pretty good. You could also shoot with a bow and arrow, and I made a necklace of stone, with a harder stone. I was there with German people and I got to show the how you differentiate Blueberry and the berry that is called Juolukka in Finnish.

interesting and well-kept area where you can get to know how our early forefathers are lived.it has been costal about 70 – 50 century ago and now about 30km inland

When my father and his friend visited, we looked for something to do. this was a perfect outing. informative, nice walk, something to see. bet it is much better in the summer. not sure if it is worth a repeat visit in the near future, but maybe once every 5 years or so?

Kierikki Stone Age Village is situated on the beautiful banks of the river Iijoki, next to Kierikki Naturehotel, Yli-Ii. This has been a real prehistoric settlement (5,000 BC). Nowadays there are ruins of this 5,000 - 7,000 years old dwelling and a very nice reconstructed Stone Age Village.There is also an archaeological museum in a modern log house which is the largest log building in Scandinavia. The building has got many architectural prizes. There is also a restaurant in the log building. There is a pathway (half kilometers) from this main building to the reconstructed Stone Age Village. There are reconstructed hunting traps near the path. Our family loved this sight very much!

это интересная воссозданая стоянка первобытного человека -- на месте реальной стоянки. сперва можно посмотреть музей, посмотреть в нем кино на 15 минут, а потом посмотреть и на реальные раскопки, поговорить с археологами, и увидеть очень интересные строения. и приятным бонусом идет невероятное количество морошки, растущей в этом месте)
