Nice shelter near lake.

Pookivaara is a scenic hill in the Rokua Geopark, offering sweeping views over forests and eskers shaped by the Ice Age. At its summit stands a wooden fire watchtower, a sentinel of the wild, used in summer by fire wardens who scan the horizon for signs of smoke or wildfire.

Pitkäjärvi is a serene stretch of water nestled in the Finnish landscape, surrounded by dense pine and birch forests. Its calm surface mirrors the sky, offering a perfect escape for nature lovers seeking quiet. Close to this point, you can also find a small shelter to enjoy Finland’s wilderness.

It's pretty to look at in the sunshine. Surrounded by large areas of marsh burdock, it must be wonderful here when it's in bloom. The blueberries that are ripe now taste good too, of course.

A lake that can mirror the sky, as there were two. Enjoy the area near the lake as it feels very untouched. Lichens looking like corals were my personal highlight.

A moor lake in which the mosses are slowly reclaiming their habitat. It appears to be a raised bog that is fed by rain and has no drainage. Nature is very poor here and is home to rare animals and plants.

The fire watchtower is the seat of the fire watchmen in summer. During the day they watch the forest from above and look out for smoke or other signs of fire. The tower is not open to the public.

Really nice place for grilling sausages and Marshmallows. Offers a beautifully and peaceful view on the lake. So don’t forget them and have lighters with you.
