This is well worth a detour if you are in this part of Finland although it is NOT easy to find. Hopefully these directions will make it easier for anyone trying to find it in the future. Drive south from Puumala for about 10 km until you see a sign on the left to Muuramaki. It's a gravel road and you need to drive for about 10 km or 15 minutes. You need to look out for a tall telecommunications mast that isn't that easy to spot despite it's height. When you spot the mast you need to look for a signpost on the right of the road to Kummakiventie. Drive up that road a short way and you will see a further sign to Kummakivi. Follow that and you will come to a small carpark with a board describing the boulder. Follow the path through thick woods for about five minutes and then there it is! A truly phenomenal sight. There was no one else around and it is certainly a very cool thing to see and experience.
