Description

Kolmisoppinen Forest Trail is about 1.8 km as a loop in Taka-Keljo, Jyväskylä, in Central Finland. The City of Jyväskylä maintains it as a forest-education path: the marked route runs through stands of different ages, with seven information boards that explain the history of forestry work at each stop. A booklet at the trailhead mailbox (or printable from the municipal site) goes deeper into the sites and summarises modern forestry practice. Separate printable sheets help you identify trees, plants, and birds along the way, and a GPS activity sheet places checkpoints near the trail. The same trailhead is listed on Luontoon.fi for national outdoor browsing, and Visit Jyväskylä Region’s Lipas listing notes the seven boards and the Ronsuntaipaleentie address context. The loop sits in the wider Kolmisoppinen outdoor area beside lake Kolmisoppinen. About 0.9 km into the walk you pass Metsäpolun laavu; Kolmisoppisen laavu sits near the lake shore segment, and Kolmisoppisen uimaranta offers a swim in summer a little further along the same shore cluster. Jyväskylän Ladun ulkoilumaja, the ski association lodge on Ronsuntaipaleentie, anchors the trailhead zone with parking and winter ski connections. Several longer routes start from the same hills: Kolmisoppisen ulkoilualue, 2 km reitti overlaps this line, and Tossu- ja tassupolku is a short family walking loop nearby. For a big day, the Maastis–Kulonpalonmäki circuit and Kolmisoppisen ulkoilualue, 10 km reitti branch out from shared parking and shelters. Duckboards carry the path across wet ground, so ordinary hiking footwear usually suffices outside the wettest spells, as described in the nature-trail guidelines. Those guidelines state that dogs must stay on leash year-round on marked nature trails, and they name this forest trail among routes where cycling is allowed, unlike the ten quiet nature trails reserved for walking only. Route marking in city forests often uses yellow or orange paint on trees and rocks together with posts. No dedicated trail-overview video for this exact loop met the quality bar; rely on official pages and a visit in person for the clearest preview.

Length & route

The trail is about 1.8 km as one loop through mixed forest beside Kolmisoppinen. Visit Jyväskylä Region rounds the distance to 1.7 km in its Lipas card. Allow roughly half an hour to an hour if you read the boards and use the identification sheets. The same recreation area hosts additional marked loops from two kilometres upward for longer outings.

Getting there

The trailhead area sits off Ronsuntaipaleentie in Taka-Keljo; Visit Jyväskylä Region’s Lipas listing gives Ronsuntaipaleentie 295 as the address context. Use Kulonpalonmäen Parking, Kulonpalonmäen Parkkipaikka, or Kulonpalonmäen pysäköintialuetta for parking beside the route. Without a car, the public transport to nature sites page describes Jyväskylä local bus line 13 toward Tikkala from bay 9 at the city centre terminal (zone A ticket), with roughly 450 m to walk from the Kolmisoppinen L stop. Check current Linkki timetables before you travel.

Good to know

Winter maintenance is not provided on city nature trails; tread can be icy when routes cross ski tracks, so choose footwear accordingly. Campfire wood on city nature-trail sites is generally bring-your-own where fires are allowed. For the latest on events, closures, or maintenance, start from the City of Jyväskylä forest-trail page.
