Näkötorni, Kitkan ulkoilualue, Kortesjärvi. The Kitkan Observation Tower, a wooden structure completed in 2005, is situated in Kitkankallio at an elevation of 85 meters above sea level, within the Kitka outdoor recreation area in Kortesjärvi.

The Kangas bird tower in Ylihärmä, Kauhava, also known as the Karhuvuori observation tower, offers extensive views of the river valley, particularly notable for spring and autumn bird migrations. The site features a wooden bear carving, leading to its alternate name, the bear tower. Standing approximately 48 meters above sea level, the tower was constructed in 2001 by the Village Association Tempaus. The area includes a two-kilometer fitness trail, a cottage with a fireplace, an outdoor toilet, and a wood storage room, along with an outdoor grill
