City of Konnevesi – Outdoor recreation+

Description

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. 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. 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. The City of Hankasalmi visitor page for the outdoor area rounds out maintenance contacts and services. 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.

Length & route

The trail is about 9.6 km and runs point-to-point without forming a loop. It links Sirkkamäentie recreation facilities with the Häähninmäki junction where shorter named loops (Kattilapolku, Häähnintuvanpolku, Paskolammin luontopolku) begin or cross. Allow roughly half a day if you add the tower, hut stops, and side trips on connecting routes.

Getting there

Visit Jyväskylä Region states that Häähninmäki is easy to reach from Hankasalmi via Purtomäentie and from Konnevesi via Sirkkamäentie, with signposting toward Häähnintupa from the main forest-road parking area. For Sirkkamäki-side access, the swimming spot is at Sirkkamäentie 1240 and the rink and ball field cluster at Sirkkamäentie 1161, 44320—use these when your drive follows the village road rather than the Hankasalmi car park. The principal Häähninmäki car park on the Hankasalmi side is described at Häähnintuvantie 160 and on the Konnevesi PDF with coordinates for the Läheahontie 320 spur.

Good to know

Häähnintupa bookings and hut contact details are published on the Konnevesi leaflet and trail pages. On shared Häähninmäki paths, mountain bike routes may use different marker colours than walking loops—check the car-park legend or Luontopolkumies notes before following coloured arrows.
