The Ruuhitunturi lookout tower rises on a fell in Urho Kekkonen National Park and offers sweeping views across the untouched wilderness of Lapland. From here you can see the rolling hills, endless forests, and the vast expanse stretching to the Russian border. A quiet, impressive place that rewards the exertions of the long hike with a panorama of peace and vastness.
