Hiidenvuori and other Nature Destinations
|
The most famous natural sight in Iitti, the Hiidenvuori hill, rises to the height of 60 metres (127 metres above sea level). The former castle hill is situated approximately 14 kilometres north of Iitti village. |
|
The view from the steep soothes both eyes and the soul: to the north there are islands and sparkling open lakes, to the south sighing pine-forests and deciduous forests. Hiidenvuori is a popular hiking destination, a lookout spot and the venue for the closing concert of Iitti Music Festival.
| Vuolenkoski Village In Vuolenkoski you can still find traditional village idyll. The village is an excellent destination for hiking in the nature and for fishing. There are also some historical rock paintings in the waterway area. |
