Hitonhauta is the largest gorge in central Finland. You can find impressive cliffs, a waterfall, a small pond and some caves here. According to legend, this is the tomb of an evil spirit named Hitto, who lived here. Apparently, his petrified face can be seen on the rock face in the gorge.

Very beautiful rock formations and caves are to be visited. Unfortunately not easy to commit.

This way is not that easy to go. With stroller or wheelchair completely impossible. It has to be climbed a lot over rocks and partially over fallen trees
