Three Trails, Three Challenges
Salmisen seikkailu 8,5 km
Your adventure begins at the Salminen lean‑to. The trail leads you through a landscape shaped by marshes, lakes, and rolling sand ridges. You’ll continue toward Kangaslammin Särkät, following a soft needle‑covered path along a sand ridge that winds between small forest ponds. The route finishes at Ruukin Tupa, right by the rushing waters of Jyrkkäkoski.
The trail is easy to navigate and well suited for walking too — even as a relaxed day trip for families.
Hankalampi haaste 16 km
Your challenge begins at the Ipo‑Kiusala lean‑to. You’ll soon arrive at a wide marshland area. If you’re moving at a more relaxed, hiking pace, you can make a short detour to the Hankalampi birdwatching tower, where the pond and its shoreline meadows open up beautifully before you.
Your journey continues across expansive wetlands, where you’ll traverse long stretches of boardwalks. The Salminen lakeside lean‑to invites you to pause for a moment — or enjoy a longer break if you wish.
From there, the trail leads you through a landscape shaped by marshes, lakes, and rolling sand ridges. You’ll continue toward Kangaslammin Särkät, following a soft needle‑covered path along a sand ridge that winds between small forest ponds. The route finishes at Ruukin Tupa, right beside the rushing waters of Jyrkkäkoski.
Volokin valloitus 30 km
Your journey begins at the Susi‑Kervinen lean‑to. The first stretch takes you along a sand ridge between two lakes. Along the way, you can pause at the Särkkä‑Kervinen lean‑to or the Jussinlampi wilderness hut. After this, you’ll reach one of the trail’s most impressive highlights: the Uuranholi gorge — the most technical and challenging section of the route.
From the highest point of the trail, Holinmäki, you can admire stunning views over Lake Haajaistenjärvi. You’ll then continue toward the Kiusala lean‑to and the Hankalampi birdwatching tower, before crossing wide marshlands along long stretches of boardwalks.
After passing the Salminen lean‑to, the trail leads you along soft needle‑covered paths across the sand ridges of Kangaslammin Särkät. The route finishes at Ruukin Tupa, right beside the rushing waters of Jyrkkäkoski.
