Jouhtisvuori laavu. Jouhtisvuori, Tankolampi, Konnevesi

Häähnintupa is a desert hut-type camping and rest cabin intended for all hikers. You can use the hut for free from 10 am to 6 pm and also in the evening if there are no overnight guests. The hut has a fireplace, gas stove and a picnic table, coffee pot. You can also reserve the Häähnintupa for overnight stays for a resonable cost (40€ a night in the week & 50€ a night on the weekends). The hut can be reserved all year round. The upper loft has mattresses and pillows for five people. You need to bring your own sleeping bags or linen. This hut & area is maintained by a private organization, they do not get funding. The place is super nice, they stock the outdoor bathrooms with toilet paper, they bring water for washing hands, firewood, it feels like someone is letting you borrow their cabin. You can donate to their project (see pictures).

Along the track.

For maps of the Häähninmäki walking network, markings, and the Häähnintupa rest area, start with the City of Konnevesi outdoor recreation pages and the Häähninmäki hiking leaflet(1)(2). Visit Jyväskylä Region summarises the same hill on the Hankasalmi–Konnevesi border: how to approach from Konnevesi along Sirkkamäentie, marked paths, duckboards in wet spots, the 2020 lookout tower over Iso-Häähninjärvi, and the shared hut(3). Retkipaikka’s Luontopolkumies walk-through of the wider Häähninmäki trails adds practical notes on colour-coded loops, boardwalks, and how bike and walking markers differ—worth reading before you mix routes(4). The City of Hankasalmi visitor page for the outdoor area rounds out maintenance contacts and services(5). The trail is about 9.6 km and is not a loop. It runs in forested hill country between Sirkkamäki village recreation sites and the Häähninmäki trail junction where Paskolammin luontopolku, Häähnintuvan polku, Häähninmäen retkeilyreitit, and Häähninmäen maastopyöräilyreitit meet. Konnevesi lies in Central Finland; Hankasalmi shares the same ridge line. About 2.3 km from the start you pass Sirkkamäen uimapaikka on Sirkkamäentie 1240—a natural swim stop in summer. Near the 3.3 km mark you reach the Häähnintupa cluster: Häähnintupa wilderness hut, Häähnintupa Grillipaikka, and dry toilets nearby; the same cluster links to Paskolammin luontopolku and the tower-and-Peikkola area described on the municipality leaflet. Sirkkamäen kaukalo and Sirkkamäen pallokenttä sit close to each other on Sirkkamäentie 1161 for local sports and ice use when conditions allow—convenient if you are combining a village errand with a longer walk. Dry toilets at the hut and tower area serve the whole hill; think of them as shared facilities for the network rather than separate named milestones along every segment.

For maps of the Häähninmäki walking network, practical notes on markings and the main car park, and background on Häähnintupa and Peikkola, start from the City of Konnevesi outdoor recreation pages and their linked leaflet(1)(2). Visit Jyväskylä Region sums up the same hill as a year-round trail destination on the Hankasalmi–Konnevesi border: marked paths, duckboards where it stays wet, a 2020 lookout tower over Iso-Häähninjärvi, and the shared Häähnintupa rest cabin in the trail junction area(3). The City of Hankasalmi visitor page for Häähninmäki adds who maintains the wider outdoor area and how to reach bookings and rentals(4). Paskolammi nature trail is about 1.3 km as a short hiking line in Konnevesi through the Häähninmäki outdoor area, named after Paskolampi pond on local maps. The path is not a loop. About 0.66 km along the route you reach the main Häähninmäki destination cluster: the Häähninmäen näkötorni lookout, Häähnintupa wilderness hut, Peikkola shelter with a nearby campfire spot, and several grill and fire ring spots—natural places to pause before you continue or branch onto longer walks. Dry toilets sit near the hut and tower area; use them as shared facilities for the whole hill rather than separate named stops along the way. From that cluster you can join Häähnintuvan polku for a compact tour, Sirkkamäen luontopolku toward Sirkkamäen uimapaikka and Sirkkamäen kaukalo, or the wider Häähninmäen retkeilyreitit walking network and Häähninmäki mountain bike trails if you want more kilometres. Parastasuomessa field reporting from the same outdoor area describes how volunteers keep wide, compacted trails and facilities—useful context if you are comparing summer footing with winter conditions on shared routes(5). Konnevesi lies in Central Finland, and Hankasalmi meets it along the same forested hill.

Koskikara nature trail is about 2 km along the Konnevesi whitewater corridor in Konnevesi, Central Finland. Locals know the same circuit as Partiomajan polku; Luontoon.fi publishes it under the Koskikara name for the white-throated dippers that favour the ice-free rapids in winter(2). The outing sits in forest beside the river with freshly upgraded fireplaces and shelters. For step-by-step junction logic, firewood, and the recommended circuit direction, the City of Konnevesi’s outdoor recreation pages are the place to start(1). Visit Jyväskylä Region adds printable maps and precise trailhead coordinates(3). Along the loop, Partiomajan katettu tulipaikka offers a covered communal fireplace and scout buildings where the local group rents a small cottage and loft. Rantautumispaikka Karinkoski is a canoe landing used by Seitsemän kosken koskireitti paddlers. Karinkosken laavu sits like an amphitheatre over the rapid, with a lean-to, open fire, dry toilet, and firewood store—City material highlights overwintering waterfowl and dippers in the open water(1). Taikinaisen laavu rounds out the lean-tos nearer the Taikinainen rapid section. Dry toilets are available at the main rest points. The rapids stay open year-round, so the trail remains appealing in winter as well as summer; allow about one to two hours for the narrow, occasionally rooty tread and short climbs(3).

For a short outing beside one of the busiest rapids on the Konnevesi paddling chain, Visit Jyväskylä Region lists Kellankosken luontopolku from roadside parking on Kellantie, a forested walk down to the water, wide wooden duckboards meant for paddlers portaging the rapid, and canoe trolleys on the carry(1). Konneveden Kosket, which runs fishing and access services at Kellankoski, describes the rapid itself as wide and powerful, notes fishing jetties and wading opportunities on calmer lower sections, and reminds visitors that outside yard areas the shorelines fall under nature reserve rules—open fires there are not allowed and a long-standing wading prohibition has applied on part of the rapid since 2022(2). The same regional tourism pages summarise how the Seven Rapids kayak route threads Konnevesi’s seven named rapids, that Kellankoski is bypassed along the east-bank portage track hikers use, and that kayakers should watch for anglers in the roar of the water(3). The trail is about 1.2 km on our map as a point-to-point path in Konnevesi in Central Finland, dropping through pine forest toward Kellankoski on the main channel. Toward the downstream end you reach Kellankosken kotalaavu—a kota-style shelter with a fire ring that makes a natural lunch stop—and a few dozen metres farther, Kellankosken rantautumispaikka, the official landing where the kayaking route meets the forest path. The duckboard span here is built wide enough for boats and gear; if you are walking only, it is still the easiest place to view the most turbulent section of the chain from the bank. If you arrive by kayak on Seitsemän kosken koskireitti, this landing and portage strip are the practical link between the water and the shelter; for hikers arriving from the road, the same cluster is the turnaround before you retrace to the car.

Konnevesi sits in Central Finland between Lake Konnevesi and the rapids country to the north; this forest walk is a town-side outing rather than a national-park trek. Visit Jyväskylä Region places the trailhead at the Konnevesi Museum courtyard on Museotie 1, with parking at the museum, blue markings in the terrain, and signposted distance choices of about 3 km, 4 km and 7 km(1). City of Konnevesi groups the municipality with several other marked outdoor routes—partly a reminder that you can combine this walk with longer rapids or forest loops elsewhere in the parish(2). On our map the main published line is about 6.8 km and is not a loop: it leaves the museum hill, cuts through mixed forest toward Lapunjoki, and works well as a half-day stroll at an easy pace. Roughly 1.8 km from the start, the route passes the Alakoulun pieni sali address cluster on Lapunmäentie—close to the Lapunmäki sports hill where our page also lists Lapunmäen kuntorata and Lapunmäen ladut; walkers who jog or ski those tracks already share the same parking and hillside facilities, and Tervasroihun laavu sits just off the ski and running line for a shorter detour with a shelter. About 3.8 km along the main hiking line you reach Vesanterinpolven laavu on a small knoll above a bend in Lapunjoki, with Honkaneva wooded mire around it. The regional lean-to listing describes firewood at the shelter, no piped water, and brown river water that careful visitors boil for drinks; in summer some people arrive by canoe or boat from Liesvesi along Lapunjoki, while in winter others reach the shelter on river ice from highway 69 or from ski tracks starting around Liesvesi(3). Expect a quiet forest footpath typical of Central Finnish lake country: rooty segments, short ups and downs, and in wet periods muddy stretches between the museum hill and the river bend. There is no dedicated trail-overview video that clearly names this exact path after targeted YouTube searches; the still photo materials on Visit Jyväskylä Region remain the clearest public preview(1)(3).

The trail is about 0.9 km one way in Konnevesi, Central Finland, along the shore of Lake Pyhäjärvi to Pyhäjärven lintutorni (Konnevesi), a bird-watching tower with views over one of the region’s most important bird lakes. The lake is part of a Natura 2000 shore and open-water habitat; a second tower, Pyhäjärven lintutorni (Äänekoski), stands on the opposite shore and is reached by other access routes. For the service card and route details, see Luontoon.fi(1). Visit Jyväskylä Region lists length, natural surface, free access, and that the path is not suitable for wheelchairs or strollers(2). The City of Konnevesi describes blue-painted markings, a small parking area on Pirttitaipaleentie, wet ground after rain, and driving directions from both Konnevesi and Äänekoski(3). Keski-Suomen lintutieteellinen yhdistys highlights Pyhäjärvi as the municipality’s number-one spring and summer bird site(4). You start from the parking and information point on Pirttitaipaleentie and follow the marked path along the lake margin. Even before the tower, the lake and fields offer chances to watch waterfowl, waders and birds of prey depending on season; spring migration and breeding season are especially rewarding. From the tower you look out over the lake and surrounding farmland mosaic. Allow time to return on the same path. Combine this outing with other Konnevesi outdoor sites when planning a longer day: the city’s pages describe longer loops such as Partiomajan polku and the Häähninmäki area separately(3).

Häähninmäki tower & cottage is a pretty unique place that over looks Iso Häähninjärvi Lake. And when we say "overlooks" we really mean it, the tower is like 20 meters high and 122 steps to get up there! It was built in 2020 in Häähninmäki. The observation tower is free and open to all hikers. The tower cottage is open from 10 am to 6 pm. The cottage is equipped with a gas stove, coffee and water kettle, and basic cooking utensils (frying pan and pot). You can also book the cottage for overnight stays. It fits 4 people on sofa beds. You need to bring your own sleeping bags or linen.
