Iso-Kakkori route, Karijoki
Iso-Kakkori is the highest hill in Karijoki. From the granite hill rising 145 m above sea level, a view opens to the nearby forested terrain and towards Lauhanvuori visible on the horizon. Building stone was once quarried from the peak of Iso-Kakkori to be used down in the river valley. The marks of the quarrying are still visible. Besides cliffs and rocky areas, several "devil's fields" can be found near the summit.
On top of Iso-Kakkori is a shelter suitable for a day trip rest stop. The path leading to the top is marked with trail signs and route markings. The guidance is complemented by a GPX track available on Outdooractive. The route is part of the Ancient Mountains network, maintained by the municipalities of Karijoki and Teuva.
