In 1978 Sergey Simonyan found an ancient Saami worship complex, which unites both natural formations (the rocky amphitheatre which appeared as a result of an ancient earthquake, other signs of seismic and glacial activity), and classic sieidi-stones, the number of which according to some calculations exceeds 1500.
Vottovaara is the highest point on the West Karelian Hills (417.3 metres above sea-level) and is situated approximately at a distance of 30 km from Himola village and approximately in 20 km from Sukkajärvi village, to the east of the road connecting them.
