The
hill of Rapola

|
It's a big model of the historically important hill of
Rapola in Sääksmäki, Finland. The model displays Rapola as it has looked
like at the end of the iron age about 1000 years ago. The reconstruction was
only possible due to assistance of archeologist and researcher Sirkka-Liisa
Seppälä from the Helsinki University. But at the same time the whole
landscape with the hill is a huge soft playground for children (about 32m2,
80cm high), where they can jump on the fields, sit on the mountain or crawl
through the woods. For the first time people can even embrace the hill of
Rapola! The playground is made of foam rubber, covered with a very special
fabric and painted. © Alexander Reichstein |
