There are signs along the route, and it is intended to be followed counter-clockwise. The route passes the service infrastructure of Spitaalij\u00e4rvi and the observation tower on the top of Lauhanvuori mountain. The observation tower is open during the summer.<\/p>\n<p>The small potato field near the top of Lauhanvuori serves as a reminder of the old way of growing potatoes on high slopes to avoid frost. You can take a break and swim in the lake, although there is no official beach. Traditionally, the water of Spitaalij\u00e4rvi was believed to have healing properties, and in the past it has even been exported to Russian princes. From Spitaalij\u00e4rvi, the path gradually rises back to the top of Lauhanvuori.<\/p>\n<p>The Lauhanvuori destinations are also <a href=\"https:\/\/visitsuupohja.fi\/en\/kohteet\/lauhanvuori-hameenkangas-unesco-global-geopark\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">destinations of the Lauhanvuori-H\u00e4meenkangas UNESCO Global Geopark.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3480,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false},"kategoria":[60],"alue":[140,69,67],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitsuupohja.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kohteet\/6757"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitsuupohja.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kohteet"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitsuupohja.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/kohteet"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/visitsuupohja.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kohteet\/6757\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13889,"href":"https:\/\/visitsuupohja.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kohteet\/6757\/revisions\/13889"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitsuupohja.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitsuupohja.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kategoria","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitsuupohja.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kategoria?post=6757"},{"taxonomy":"alue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitsuupohja.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alue?post=6757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
