The
exhibition The World of the Wolf Cave
The exhibition The World of the Wolf Cave was assembled in August
2002 and presents the excavations, the archaeology and the
excavation history of the cave in texts and pictures. The exhibition
gives information about the first animal finds in Finland and the
flora around the Wolf Cave when it was inhabited. A multimedia
performance and wonderful pictures of
the elevation of the land
present the geology of the cave and the area and tell us
about the development after the Ice Age. The visitor can also see a
video about the investigations of the Wolf Cave.

The
Stone Park at Paarmanninvuori
The Stone Park at
Paarmanninvuori is situated by the walking trail between the Wolf
Cave and the Tourist Center about 700 meters from the Wolf Cave near
the Tourist center. In the park there are 16 different kinds of
stones. They are all taken from the gravel pit near the Wolf Cave,
where the ridge that was formed during the two last Ice Age eras can
be seen. There is also weathered rock, the crack of which has been
filled with pegmatite. In the park we have planted trees, bushes and
other plants that normally don’t grow here. The plants have been
chosen outgoing from the findings of pollen in the Wolf Cave and
more plants will be planted in the area when we find suitable plants.
There is a fireplace in the area and in the future a wind shield
will be built. There is no entrence-fee to the park. Inquiries about
guiding for groups to the Stone Park and the Wolf Cave, tel. 0440
