Description

Maastis–Kulonpalonmäki circuit is a long mixed-use trail in Jyväskylä’s city forests in Taka-Keljo, designed as part of the wider Maastis network for hiking, trail running, and mountain biking. The trail is about 16 km. For brochures, maps, network rules, and how Maastis links to other city loops, start with the City of Jyväskylä’s Maastis page. Visit Jyväskylä Region’s Kulonpalonmäki tour page gives a practical circuit overview—recommended clockwise travel, multi-user etiquette, rest points, and notes on shortcuts and connectors. Scenery shifts between tall spruce forest, small mires, and pine heath. Along the route you pass ordinary sports facilities where families already spend time: Mäyrämäen skeittipaikka, Mäyrämäen luistelukenttä, and Mäyrämäen pallokenttä sit together off Haarakkaantie. Deeper in the forest, Soidenlammen nuotiopaikka offers a campfire stop before the trail drops toward the Kolmisoppinen shore end. Near the water, Kolmisoppisen uimaranta, several Kulonpalonmäki parking areas, Jyväskylän Ladun ulkoilumaja, and Kolmisoppisen laavu cluster within a short walk of each other—natural lunch or swim stops on a slow day. Earlier on the line, Metsäpolun laavu sits in quiet woodland and pairs naturally with Kolmisoppisen metsäpolku’s nature-sign trail if you want a short themed add-on. The same outdoor hub ties into other marked routes on our map: Kolmisoppisen metsäpolku, the Keski-Suomen Maakuntaura walking line, shorter Kolmisoppinen area loops, the Kotalampi–Ladun maja running circuit, ski connections such as Ladun majan hiihtolatu, and the wider Maastis family elsewhere in the city. Keskisuomalainen reported the opening of this first Maastis circuit in August 2023, describing orange tree markings, on-route map boards, a mid-route shortcut, and a leave-no-trace ethic.

Length & route

The trail is about 16 km end to end on our map as one continuous line. Official Maastis materials describe the Kulonpalonmäki circuit as roughly 15.6 km with a recommended clockwise direction; Visit Jyväskylä Region notes you can shorten via the Lintula ditch route and that a connector toward Laajavuori outdoor area exists with lighter marking than the main Maastis circuit. The City of Jyväskylä publishes downloadable route brochures and maps from the Maastis hub page.

Getting there

The City of Jyväskylä and Visit Jyväskylä Region place the primary start at the Ladun Maja area on Ronsuntaipaleentie in Jyväskylä, with several Kulonpalonmäki parking pockets and the Jyväskylän Ladun ulkoilumaja near the Kolmisoppinen shore end. Use the named parking areas on our map—Kulonpalonmäen pysäköintialuetta, Kulonpalonmäen Parking, and Kulonpalonmäen Parkkipaikka—depending on which spur you approach from; all sit within a short walk of the lean-tos and beach.

Good to know

Dogs must be on leash on these city trails. The route is intended for frost-free-season use in official materials; winter maintenance follows other city trail practices rather than ski-grooming here. Campfires belong only to signed fireplaces; carry out litter so the trail stays pack-in, pack-out. Faster users yield to slower ones on multi-use segments.

History

Keskisuomalainen reported in August 2023 that Kulonpalonmäen kierros was the first finished Maastis circuit, with further Maastis construction planned the same year toward Laajavuori and Huhtasuo–Savonmäki. The City of Jyväskylä now lists additional Maastis loops such as Legendojen Lenkki and Varpupolku on the same network page.
