The search for Toskaljärvi area caves: peek into every hole

In August 2024 we explored the surroundings of the Toskaljärvi lake and Doskalharj mountain. Our mission was to find caves, perhaps a desperate mission in this landscape that is mostly marked by small, broken up rock... but there are areas of limestone, larger boulder fields, canyons and cliffs all of which we wanted to check out. The mission turned then into a "walk everywhere and peek into every hole you can see". Of course, most of those holes were rather small in closer inspection.

First the more proper caves:

1. Uhriluola, the Sacrifice Cave

The coordinates are N 69.203174 E 21.384790. The cave 7.45 long shelter cave, and about 3.3m deep.

There's a 3D model of this cave, download the model here. You can rotate the model on your screen here. And here's an image of what the model looks like:


We have also created a map of the cave, it can be downloaded in PDF format here. The plan view part of the map can be seen below:
