Why visit
A Stone Age dwelling site lies on the north shore of lake Nuasjärvi, on the southwest side of the Paaluniemi point. The finds surfaced from the stony beach along a stretch of some twenty metres.
Look for: The tip of the point is bare rock, while the southwest shore is a shingle-like field of stones with larger boulders scattered through it. Mixed forest surrounds it.
About this site

Niemessä sijaitsee saunamökki. Kasvillisuus alueella on sekametsää. Asuinpaikkalöydöt ovat tulleet esille rantakivikosta parinkymmenen metrin matkalta.
