Drumlins in Juva urban area

In the Juva area, the height of the drumlins ranges from barely discernible surface formations to ridges up to 20m high. The ridges can be kilometres in length, and often the drumlin material has been formed behind rock cores. Juva`s church is built on top of the drumlin tail from nearby rocks.
