You can reach the top by climbing the path for about 800 m. There is also a demanding 3 km long nature trail from the top of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain there is a small parking lot, a canopy for eating snack and a dry toilet. The border of the kingdom has sometimes passed through Haukkavuori. At the top of the mountain, there is a landmark of the Uusikaupunki Peace (1721) carved in stone.
