Susiluolan polku
The Susivuori trail takes visitors to the fascinating Susiluola and further up to the top of Susivuori, where there is a lookout tower. The initial part from the parking area to Susiluola is an easy cart path; from the cave onwards, the route passes through occasionally challenging rocky terrain. From the lookout tower, there is a view towards the Selkämeri Sea, visible about 15 kilometers to the west. In the scenery, the towns of Kristiinankaupunki and Kaskinen are distinguishable.
At the starting point of the route, there is a kota shelter and a toilet. The trail is maintained by the municipality of Karijoki. The route is marked with signs and trail markers, with guidance supplemented by a GPX track available on Outdooractive.
