Why did I forget to write a review? I climbed the mountain with a local resident last year on the first nice day in June. It had been cold and blustery up till then, but the last day before I was going back to Helsinki dawned sunny and we decided to risk the walk. I wished within 10 minutes that I hadn't put my jacket on. It turned out to be a warm day for a lovely walk to the part where you cut in and walk through to start the "climb". No equipment is needed, even though a couple of parts are virtually sheer. We spent a couple of hours there, as the place holds memories of someone dear to both of us and who has passed on, just drinking in the view and thinking. Even without the associations, this is so worth a climb. I'm unfit, but I can manage it. Try and go with someone who knows the area as they can point out places of interest. There's even a spring there that an enterprising cafe owner in Kotka used to fill up from to give her customers pure spring water. Of course, health and safety prevents that now. However, even without a "guide" it's well worth the effort. That view is to die for.See more..
