During the Crimean War in 1854, an optical telegraph line was built between Hanko and St. Petersburg. One of the stations was located in Haikko on Lennätinvuori, Telegraph Mountain. The telegraph line was only in use for two summers, as it was superseded by an electronic telegraph. The Telegraph Mountain Nature Reserve was established in 1961, and a small observation tower was built on the rock in the 1990s. Today, Telegraph Mountain is a popular vantage point. Visitors have carved names and a few pictures on the open cliffs. A demanding path with stairs leads to the high viewpoint.
