A map of 1 Hiking Trails in Kinnula.
Tikkakangas polku pyhälle puulle is a very short hiking loop of about 0.1 km around Pyhä puu, an ancient dead standing pine (kelo) on Tikkakangas in Kinnula, in forest country toward Silkkiperä and Koirasalmi. The tree is widely known as Karhunkallon petäjä; Turisti-info notes that Keski-Suomen museo has placed an information board about its history at the site(1). For municipal outdoor services, Kinttupolku, and current guidance from the authority, the City of Kinnula outdoor areas page is the right place to start(2). Tuomo Kesäläinen’s Maaseudun Tulevaisuus column lists Pyhäpuu among Finland’s notable karhunkallopuut and summarises the bear-hunt and peijais traditions tied to the pine(3). A 2020 on-foot account on Jalkaisin describes reaching the Tikkakangas junction from Kontumäki-direction roads, walking roughly one and a half kilometres of forest path from the turn without a dedicated trail sign at the junction itself, then finding a small weathered wooden sign nearer the tree, a lean-to, and printed material about the place(4). The walk fits a brief cultural stop combined with longer hiking on Peuran polku or in Salamajärven kansallispuisto. Kinnula lies in Central Finland; treat the site with respect, follow everyman's rights, and leave no trace.
