LAUKAA city centre
Guided paddling trip to the Saraakallio rock paintings
Let’s head out on the water together! A guided paddling trip from Laukaa’s centre to the Saraakallio rock paintings will take you back in time. Easy paddling, approximately 5 km.
Visiting the rock paintings is a small adventure. The trip starts from Laukaa harbour. Along the way, you will paddle through narrow passages, around headlands, across open lake areas, along boat routes, and through gentle currents, surrounded by stunning scenery. At Saraakallio, there is a viewing platform.
Admiring these rock paintings in their unique prehistoric setting is a truly moving experience.
From the water, you get close to nature in a completely different way, and even familiar landscapes look new from the lake. The pristine nature of Lake Saraavesi is beautiful.
The Saraakallio rock paintings can only be admired from the water
The 40-metre-high cliff face of Saraakallio is located within a nature reserve on private land, on the eastern shore of Lake Saraavesi.
The only way to see the rock paintings is from the water or from the new viewing platform built in front of the cliff face.
