When in Hanko
Find the giant´s kettle
Did you know that the giant´s kettles were formed when the fresh water after the melting of Ice Age glaciers made one or several stones rotate during a longer period of time. On Puistovuoret you can find the most famous giant’s kettle in Hanko, about three metres deep and a metre wide.
