Go see the Devil's Stair's

Jun 2019 • Couples

We were In Provoo Old town and I like walking up small side streets in places like this and came across the Devil's stairs. Legend says the devil build these step's. If this is true the devil need's to work on his stair building skills instead of bothering people. Go see, its a fun to see thing's like this.

No devil present

Jun 2018 • Couples

These steps ( I think stairs are more of an indoor thing) have a long tradition that the devil herself created these steps climbing up to taunt the church goers. They are not actually steps but rocky formations that form a gradual path to, or from, the church where the devil herself was said to climb up to taunt the church goers that go to church. On my visit I did not witness the devil herself but I did witness some church going types who were going to church in the church. Had I witnessed the devil I would have asked her if she did create the so called " Devils stairs" . Thoroughly recommended stairs to visit.

Disappointing.

Jul 2018 • Solo

We saw the Devil's Stairs on the touring map and went looking for them. When we arrived at the spot we kind of figured which rock was it, but they were not signposted and were not very impressive.

Very underwhelming.

Jun 2022 • Couples

Just a bit of rock shaped kind of like couple steps of stairs. Had to look around if this is really it. Not worth a visit at all.

Unique place

Mar 2018

This area of Porvoo is really cute with the yellow and red houses and alleys. The stairs are not maintained and extremely difficult to climb up during winter time.

What's the Hype?

Jul 2019

The Devil's Stairs are just some natural rocks that form a path. I'm sure you could fashion such a path almost anywhere. The legend that the Devil formed this does nothing to make it more interesting.

Not very devilish!

Sep 2017 • Couples

Don't let the name put you off - this is an easy walk and there are lovely views at the top. Well worth the effort on a fine day.

Very Minor Geological Curiosity

Jun 2017 • Couples

This section of naturally-formed rock is said, locally, to resemble a staircase. According to local folklore, this staircase was actually the handiwork of the Devil.

While this is an interesting bit of local colour, the staircase itself is beyond minor, a slab of rock with a few ridges in it. There must be millions of more spectacular rock formations which no one ever thought to call an attraction.

If you have mobility issues this could indeed be called the "devil's stairs"

May 2016 • Couples

It is wonderful how the residents of Porvoo used this natural rock formation as a stairway from one part of town to another.
