Haukkavuori, Ancient boundary marker on hilltop in Rautjärvi, Finland.
Haukkavuori rises 174 meters above sea level, with an 80-meter steep drop to Lake Sarajärvi, making it the highest point in South Karelia.
The hill contains carved markings from three significant treaties: the Treaty of Nöteborg from 1323, Treaty of Teusina from 1595, and Treaty of Nystad from 1721.
The Finnish Heritage Agency maintains this registered archaeological site as part of an inventory containing over 1200 nationally significant cultural locations.
A 4.4-kilometer nature trail leads visitors through forests to the summit, with facilities including a campfire site and lean-to shelter at the parking area.
The location features visible rock carvings that mark historical political borders, demonstrating the intersection of natural geography and diplomatic agreements.
