A cave belonging to the nature reserve, which is said to contain an underground temple depicted The Bock Saga written by the mystic Ior Bock (1942–2010). Archaeological excavations have also been carried out in the area.
The Temple of Lemminkäinen is a cave in the village of Gumbostrand, located in Sipoo, Finland. It is said to contain an underground temple depicted in The Bock Saga, a collection of stories by Ior Bock: according to Bock, the entrance to the temple is located under a rock that Bock calls Kyypelivuori. The name of the cave refers to Lemminkäinen, a figure in Finnish mythology and one of the main characters in the Kalevala. According to Bock, the entrance to the temple was closed in 987, when Christianity arrived in Uusimaa and pagan sites had to be hidden.
