Hämeenkankaan dyynikenttä (Hämeenkangas, Other areas)

One of the largest dune fields in Southern Finland is located on the slopes of Hämeenkangas. Thousands of small sand mounds were formed ca. 9000 years ago when the area was located at the shores of the Ancylus lake. The area was very windy as there was no sheltering archipelago. Winds gathered the sand into series of small dunes that can be still seen in the pine forest as gentle mounds.
