The ancient Cattle Field in Kirjavala-Rantakylä
Traditional cattlefields are dissappearing from Finland. With them many endangered plants and insects are about to vanish.

Rantakylä's traditional cattle field is selected to European Union's Natura Programme as an example of the traditional ecotype which is worth of preserving to the coming generations. Cattle has breeded here for centuries and this has cultured the land to its specific form. There are several endangered species in the area, so watch carefully your steps and respect the nature.

If you want to have a glimpse to ancient Finnish agrarian culture, there is still possibility to see that here in Kirjavala. Visit us and we guide you there.
