Telkkämäki heritage site

Kaavi, Finland · built 1989

The Telkkämäki Nature Reserve (in Telkkämäen luonnonsuojelualue or Telkkämäen kaskiperinnetila) is an open-air museum and a heritage farm in the municipality of Kaavi, in the Northern Savonia region of Finland. It covers one square kilometer (0.39 sq mi). The reserve was established in 1989, allowing visitors to see how people lived and farmed when slash-and-burn agriculture was practiced in Eastern Finland in the 15th century. Some areas of Telkkämäki are still burned annually. The area is managed by a state-owned enterprise, Metsähallitus, which manages most of the protected areas in Finland.
