From the Kotavaara parking lot, there is a steep walking path about 400 meters to the summit of Kotavaara. At the top of Kotavaara, there is a three-story metal observation tower, which you can climb at your own risk. From the tower, you can also observe birds, such as cranes. You may also see the grey-headed woodpecker and other forest grouse in the surroundings. Next to the tower, there is also a lean-to shelter and a campfire site. A great destination both in summer and winter. It is easy to get here and the views are amazing!
