Kummakivi is a large balancing rock in Ruokolahti, Finland. A remnant from the last ice age, the 7-meter long boulder lies on a convex bedrock surface with a very small footprint but so firmly that it cannot be rocked with human force. Kummakivi has been protected since 1962. A pine tree originating from the 1980s grows on top of the boulder.Duration includes 1hr driving time to location.
