At Ahmovaara a side road branches off Road 18 (Joensuu-Kajaani) and runs east through rugged country, with expanses of forest, to end at a parking place at the Koli Hotel. From there a stepped path climbs up the rocky hill of Ukko-Koli (347m/1,139ft), from where there is a magnificent view of Lake Pielinen, 253m/830ft below, with its many wooded islands. To the south are two other peaks in the Koli range, Akka-Koli (339m/1,112ft) and Paha-Koli (334m/1,096ft). To the north is Ipatti (316m/1,037ft).
