Orrdalsklint
Orrdalsklint, at 129.1 metres (423.6 ft) above sea level,[1] is the highest point on the autonomous region of Åland in Finland.[2] The hill is located in the municipality of Saltvik, some 7 kilometers Northeast of the town center.
An observation tower and a cabin for hikers are located on the top.
Orrdalsklint would be one of the first parts of Åland to rise out of the sea 10,000 years ago.[3][4] The first people from the Comb Ceramic culture and Pitted Ware culture would arrive to Orrdalsklint about 6,000 years ago.[3] During World War I a military guard hose would be built on top of Orrdalsklint.[2] The observation tower and cabin were built during World War II for air observation.[2]
