Sammallahdenmäki
A Bronze Age burial site in the village of Kivikylä, well signposted off Highway 12 between Rauma and Tampere. While a UNESCO World Heritage Site of great archaeological significance ("The largest, most varied and complete burial site from the Scandinavian Bronze Age, 1500–500 B.C."), it's not all that much to look at, being composed of just 36 burial cairns – piles of stone of varying shapes and sizes. Six of the cairns are highlighted in the official tourist flyer and on the map at the entrance, and the most famous of them is probably Huilu ("flute"), a cairn over 20 m long and perhaps 2-3 m wide. Guided tours starting from the parking lot are available M–F in the summer peak season (June–August).
