The Dark One's Fingers in the Stone at Rötkel

Finland · Natural site

He meant to crush Rötkel church with a stone, but the cock's crow stopped him and he pressed his fingers into it.

Another version at Rötkel tells that the devil wished to do the farmers' day-labour so they could reach the tavern. To show his strength he hurled stones into the sea and threatened to throw a great stone at Rötkel church. The cock's crow stopped him, and instead he pressed his five fingers into the stone.
