Kummakivi
Kummakivi is a large balancing rock in Ruokolahti, Finland. The 7-metre-long boulder is a glacial erratic that lies on a convex bedrock surface with such a small footprint that it almost appears to be moving, but so firmly that it cannot be rocked with human force.| Tap on a place to explore it |
