Visit Laukaa – Lammasmäen luontopolku+

Description

For the thirteen nature stations, yellow markings, parking beside Vihtavuoren luistelualue, and the mix of fitness trail and uneven forest footing, Visit Laukaa’s Lammasmäki trail page is the clearest planning reference. City of Laukaa rounds out the picture for Vihtavuoren liikuntapuisto at the same Lammasmäenkuja address—fields, rinks, disc golf, tennis, and a sub-kilometre lit ski loop in winter—and links to the same trail page for detail. Vihtavuoren kyläyhdistys notes how Lammasmäki’s green pocket ties the trail to the lit fitness and ski track corridor locals use in cold months. The trail is about 1.3 km on our map in Vihtavuori village, Laukaa, in Central Finland, a short drive north-west of Jyväskylä. It is a compact local nature path rather than a backcountry outing: interpretation boards introduce birds, ants, moss carpets, lichen rocks, an ancient shoreline outcrop, Vihtavuori village history, erratics, and the forest pantry, with pupil artwork from Vihtavuoren alakoulu on the panels. You start from the sports-side access pattern Visit Laukaa describes: turn from Jyväskyläntie onto Hermannintie where signing aims toward Vihtavuoren urheilukenttä, leave the car at Vihtavuoren luistelualue parking, and pick up the nature-trail sign along Hermannintie. Within a few hundred metres of that trailhead, Vihtavuoren frisbeegolfrata, Vihtavuoren jääkiekkokaukalo, Vihtavuoren pallokenttä, Vihtavuoren ulkokuntoilupaikka, Vihtavuoren tenniskenttä, Vihtavuoren jalkapallokenttä, Vihtavuoren urheilukenttä, and Vihtavuoren alakoulun liikuntasali all sit in the same Lammasmäen pocket—handy if you are combining a short ecology walk with other outdoor errands. Longer legs are easy to stitch from the same trailhead area: Vihtavuoren kuntorata shares the pocket, Vihtavuori–Keikkanen trail and ski track links toward Keikkanen for a roughly ten-kilometre connection, and Metsoreitti (Laukaa) reaches deeper into Laukaa’s forest toward Sikomäen laavu, Kalliolanmäen laavu, and Haukilammen kota for day-hut and kota days.

Length & route

The trail is about 1.3 km on our map. Visit Laukaa describes roughly 1.44 km with a partly hilly fitness-trail section and uneven going in the forest, marked with yellow paint and nature-trail signing. City of Laukaa adds that a winter ski-practice loop of just under one kilometre for classic and free technique runs through the sports park beside the same green pocket.

Getting there

From Jyväskyläntie turn onto Hermannintie where signing points toward Vihtavuoren urheilukenttä; leave the car at Vihtavuoren luistelualue parking and follow the nature-trail sign beside Hermannintie. Street address on signage is Lammasmäenkuja, Vihtavuori post code 41330. City of Laukaa lists the sports-park gate address as Lammasmäenkuja 2 for orientation within the wider facility.
