Why visit
Near the western edge of Puijo's southern nature reserve, in old spruce forest at the foot of a gentle slope, lie at least four slash-and-burn clearance cairns.
Look for: The largest is heaped around a boulder protruding from the ground and measures 3 by 3 metres; the smaller ones are just under a metre across and low.
About this site
Puijon eteläisen luonnonsuojelualueen länsirajan tuntumassa, loivasti laskevan rinteen alaosassa, vanhassa kuusimetsässä sijaitsee ainakin neljä kaskirauniota. Ne vaihtelevat kooltaan suurimman ollessa silmäkiven ympärille rakentunut ja kooltaan 3 x 3 metriä ja pienemmät hieman alle metrin kokoisia ja matalia.
