Hiitolanjoki is a border river, of which 8-9 km is on the Finnish side in Rautjärvi.

Ritakoski's old hydropower plant is located near Route 6. There is a parking area in the yard of the power plant, from where you can access the scenic path.

The trail has stairs and climbs, so it requires good basic condition. The area is owned by the South Karelian Recreation Area Foundation. Free.
