Sysmä Zoo and Café

Bicycles, rowing boats (also motorized), kayaks, canoes and SUP boards for rent.

The highest point of eastern Tavastia, with a point on the Struve Geodetic Arc. A 4-km marked trail leads to the hilltop (a 120 m ascend) from the parking via a lean-to shelter (with outhouse toilet, benches, table and woodshed; no campfires during wildlife warnings). Close to the top the trail forks to form a circle path. The cave Hiskiaanluola just before the peak is said to have been inhabited by a hermit in the early 20th century. Other sights by the trail are the 7-m glacial erratic Sysmän Linta, the big anthills, the varying landscapes and the view from the peak. The footpath is steep and stony, but popular also among families (mind unfenced drops!).
