The Caves of Jeremias is a huge natural stone formation situated in a nature reserve. Please respect nature and the neighboring residents by staying on marked trails.<\/p>\n
The caves in Jeremias feature vertical rock cliffs as well as deep, unmarked grooves and cracks, making walking in the area potentially dangerous, especially on slippery paths. As the name suggests, there are several caves of various sizes in the natural stone formation, but the cave sites are not marked.<\/p>\n
From the cliff at P\u00e4nn\u00e4inen Hill, there is a fantastic view of T\u00f6nviikki Bay, adjacent to Str\u00f6\u00f6mi. An observation point lies just above the Caves of Jeremias on P\u00e4nn\u00e4inen Hill. Here, the Rapakivi granite rises about 25 meters above the current sea level.<\/p>\n
The car park is located across the road.<\/p>\n
One story goes that in the 18th century, when Finland was part of the Kingdom of Sweden, the English navy arrived in Kustavi. The Englishmen wanted to find the Swedes who were staying in Tuulvesi and asked Jeremias, who was living in T\u00f6nvik (opposite P\u00e4nn\u00e4istenuori) at the time, for a boat route to Tuulvesi. Even though he could have reached it by sailing through Ini\u00f6naukko, Jeremias deliberately gave the wrong directions. The angry Englishmen returned to find Jeremias, but he had fled to Mount P\u00e4nn\u00e4inen. It was easy to walk on the mountain in a way that others couldn’t see him, as the angry Englishmen, who were described as whispering angels, eventually had to leave without finding Jeremias.<\/p>\n
