Cultural environment program:
Additional information: Kuhankuono is the historically significant ancient border stone marking the common point of eight different communes (Aura, Masku, Mynämäki, Nousiainen,Pöytyä, Turku, Vahto and Yläne). The border stone is located on a small rocky island on the northern end of the large and beautiful Kurjenrahka peat swamp. Kuhankuono and the Kurjenrahka national park area are notable travel destinations.
By the way, Kuhankuono is the name of the border stone, which actually means walleye snout--probably because it resembles a fish's nose sticking up out of the bog!
Strangely enough, when I was a teenager, I lived in Mynämäki, but I never knew about this marker--rats!

speaking BP'ers don't we?)
