Tutikivi, the Devil's sauna stone at Kokuta

Tutikivi Kokutal

On a farm in Kokuta village, in the old Massu district of Hanila, lies a large stone called Tutikivi, the tuft stone. It is flat all over except for a sharp hump in the middle that looks like a tuft, which gave it its name. Three footprints with toes are pressed into it. A woman who heard the story from her grandmother told in 1939 that the Devil had built a sauna for his child here, and while doing so left the marks of his feet in the rock.

Eesti keeles

Hanila kihelkonna endise Massu valla Kokuta külas ühe talumehe maal lebab suur kivi nimega Tutikivi. See on muidu ühetasane, kuid keskelt tõuseb kõrge terav kühm, mis on tuti kujuga, ja sellest sai kivi oma nime. Kivisse on vajutatud kolm jalajälge koos varvastega. Üks naine, kes oli loo kuulnud vanaemalt, jutustas 1939. aastal, et Vanapagan teinud siin oma lapsele sauna ja jätnud siis kivisse oma jalgade jäljed.
