It’s not a footpath but rather duckboards (pitkospuut) built mostly over a swamp with some wooded sections. Since it’s damaged, it could be dangerous or impractical to use. However, the path might still be very visible.

In my opinion. I think the path going north of "Laavu" that SverigeFan extended can remain for now, as there is likely a warning sign or other information indicating if continuing further is dangerous. It also seems like it's not blocked deliberately.

However, I believe the short path heading east of "Viiankijärvi kota" to the viewpoint should be removed, as atleast the start is nonexistent. Even the sections visible on satellite imagery are uncertain whether they still function as a usable path.

A visit is possible probably in the end of May, depending on flood levels. SverigeFan, that’s a shame. We just got more snow, but the temperatures are quite high :P
