At the end of the trail there is a scenic observation platform (4 m x 3 m), which offers  a view of the open landscape over Torronsuo. In the autumn, you can spot cranes on their southerly migration. The observation platform has railings that are 1.2 m tall and a bench. The seat height is 54 cm. The bench does not have armrests or backrest.

The trail is part of the Kiljamonkierros Circle Trail which continues next to the viewing platform as a narrow duckboards trail to the mire and on to the Kiljamo rest stop.
