Description

Kalastuspolku – the Fishing Path – is about a 6 km hiking loop in Paljakka, Puolanka, in the Kainuu region: easy, well-marked walking through resort edges and old-growth forest beside Paljakka Strict Nature Reserve. For route descriptions, reminders to stay on marked trails, and links to PDF and digital maps, start with the Paljakka holiday resort’s Hiking and trekking overview. The City of Puolanka’s Paljakka page highlights how summer trails reach toward ancient forest and the strict reserve that is unusually open to visitors. From the loop start near the centre you soon pass Paljakkatalo and the caravan area, then Paljakan laskettelukeskus parkkipaikka, Paljakka frisbeegolf, and Hiihtokeskus Paljakka – the main downhill and services cluster. About 4.3 km into the circuit, Rakennusjärven kota offers a wood-fire kota stop on Lake Rakennusjärvi’s shore. Nearing the last kilometre you pass Lake Resort Paljakan avantouintipaikka and Paljakka Lake Resortin Näköalasauna above the water. The route threads the same recreational fabric as Talvinen fatbike- ja monikäyttöura and connects into Hepovaaran maastopyöräilyreitit - Paljakka - Puolanka for anyone combining summer hiking with bike loops later. Murphy’s Paljakka spring write-up on Holjander quotes Paljakka’s route blurb: travel along Louhenjoki through old meadow landscapes, turn after Neulakoski toward Rakennusjärvi, then climb back toward the centre, with a note that families with very small children should treat the length and elevation gently. The author adds that markings felt clear on the ground, a reminder that UKK-route signage is shared in places.

Length & route

The trail is about 6 km and shaped as a loop from Paljakka village-scale resort terrain into forest and lake shoreline. Paljakka lists the same summer hiking card at roughly six kilometres alongside longer favourites such as Maisemareitti and Ilveskierros. Its dedicated maps page names a winter snowshoe variant, Kalastuspolku lumikenkäillen, at the same six-kilometre distance.

Getting there

Paljakka stresses that long hiking routes start from the heart of the resort without extra transportation. The City of Puolanka situates Paljakka as Puolanka’s compact holiday centre with forest and lake access. Motorists typically park at Paljakan laskettelukeskus parkkipaikka beside Paljakanrinne services; a caravan address nearby is Jyrkänparras 1, 89140 Kotila for context around Paljakka Caravan-alue.

Good to know

Winter visitors can follow the snowshoe variant named on Paljakka’s maps page. Paljakka asks everyone to stay on marked paths in landscapes beside a strict nature reserve. For resort-wide updates across seasons, cross-check Paljakka’s weekly programme and maps downloads.
