I was driving back from a very nice midsummer visit to a friend's cottage when I spotted a grand, 20+ meter cliff by the roadside. I had seen this before, but never had an opportunity to stop. But now I had to, because there was a hole on the middle of the wall, staring me in the eye :-) The question was though if I could get to it without climbing equipment. It turned out that a steep ledge was leading up to it, not great and not for wet weather, but still climbable carefully. So I got to the hole! It turned out to be a pretty small though, maybe 3 meters long. Still something, but as a too short cave I had to return it back to the nature :-)
The coordinates are N 60.353291 E 23.143689. The place is a popular aid- and sport climbing cliff. Topos are available here.
I also did a 3D scan. There's a fly-through video, 3D model for download (GLB, BLENDER), and a model to rotate on your own browser screen. I also used my tooling to draw a map, seen below (there's also a full-resolution PDF).
This is what the hole looked like from the road:
Here are some views from the cave:
Here are some more pictures of the cave/hole:
Above the bigger (?) cave there's an ever smaller hole, basically just a little bit of shelter and a very low horizontal crack running maybe a meter plus inside the cliff.
At the friend's cottage, I stayed on the beach in a tent, it was a bit of a crowd inside and actually it turned out to be very nice to stay there, warm ... beautiful ... the sauna and swim on the beach beforehand was also superb. Thank you.
