The big bird tower of Toivoniemen offers a splendid view on the Kaamasjoki River mouth.
Toivoniemen Lintutorni is a great observation point with a view on various wetlands, which levels are suitable for both ducks and Lapland waders : Snipe, Common Greenshank, Ruff, Eurasian Wigeon, Tufted Duck, Goosander among others. As the tower is set in a piece of a pine forest, you can get close to Common Redpoll and woodpeckers.
The observation tower is well signposted on a junction of the E75 road. There is a widening of the road close to the tower where you can park a vehicle. Click on the P in the map to get directions. Access for bikes is ok, it is all asphalted, though the last meters are on a dirt path.
