About Taikinamäki
What are the main landmarks in Taikinamäki?

Its name is the whole record. What the district shows a visitor is proximity, not chronology.
Where is Taikinamäki?
Barely a kilometre separates Taikinamäki from the middle of Lappeenranta, and Alakylä sits a few hundred metres away. Kahilanniemi lies beyond.
