Located on the shores of a clear water pond in the old quartzite mine of Rahasmäki, the campfire site is a lovely place to have a break. The mine was in operation during 1940-1948, producing about 40,000 tons of white quartzite sand and gravel. There are two lean-to’s with fireplaces, firewood and toilet.

Pirunkellari Cave is a fascinating natural wonder. The cave is known for its dramatic rock formations and eerie atmosphere. Legend has it that the cave's name, which translates to "Devil's Cellar," comes from local folklore. It’s a great stop if you're interested in geology and history, with the rugged surroundings adding to its mystique.

Along the Pisan kierto trail stands an ancient, protected pine tree, a living monument to the passage of time. Its weathered trunk and sprawling branches tell a story of resilience, having withstood the elements for centuries. As you pass by, take a moment to appreciate its grandeur.

The Tahko Stairs at Huutavanholma are Finland’s longest outdoor stairs, with 1,054 steps climbing approximately 800 meters up Tahko Hill.
