Verla rock painting

I spent a few days in Kouvola and visited Verla. It was a magical place that looked like a whole other country. A hidden town with old houses and cars, but most importantly, a stone age rock painting!



It is supposed to be a row of elks, but I don't see it. You can however see red spots on the wall.
This is one of the oldest rock paintings in Finland, and the biggest one in the area.
An info sign said that it's 6 meters long and 1,5 meters high, and has about 8 elks and two other figures.

There also used to be a cardboard factory in the town. It is now a museum you can visit.
