Visit Suomussalmi – Hossa National Park+

Description

For planning in Hossa National Park, Visit Suomussalmi summarises the park’s ridges, clear waters, and how walking, cycling, and paddling routes fit together. Metsähallitus publishes current hiking and outdoor rules for the park on Luontoon.fi. Retkipaikka notes that Hossa has roughly a dozen laavus and that open fires are allowed only at built fireplaces—during forest fire warnings even those may be restricted. The Nimettömänkoski Trail is about 0.4 km between Nimettömänkoski tulentekopaikka and the Syrjäsalmi laavu rest area in Suomussalmi. It is a short forest link along the waterway corridor: you start at the Nimettömänkoski campfire spot and follow the path to Syrjäsalmi laavu, with a dry toilet at Syrjäsalmi laavu käymälä near the lean-to. The same shoreline is part of the wider Peranka - Hossa vesiretkeilyreitti canoe route, so many visitors reach the rapids by boat and use the path as a quick leg ashore between fire and shelter. On land, the same rest points sit on longer hiking and biking circuits—Visit Suomussalmi describes roughly 90 km of marked trails in the park that you can combine through connecting paths, and Trailrunning.fi gives the same order of magnitude for the marked hiking network. Nearby connecting routes in our data include the Lehtovaara - Lipposensalmi hiking trail, the Sininen saavutus and Honkavaaran talvikierros pyöräillen biking routes, and the Peranka - Hossa vesiretkeilyreitti paddling route; each passes or touches these facilities in different ways. Suomussalmi lies in Kainuu. The Hossa visitor centre can help with maps and permits during its season.

Length & route

The trail is about 0.4 km as a point-to-point link between Nimettömänkoski tulentekopaikka and Syrjäsalmi laavu. Visit Suomussalmi states that Hossa has about 90 km of marked trail network in the national park; Trailrunning.fi describes more than 90 km of marked hiking trails across the area. This segment is one short connector between two rest points on those networks.

Getting there

There is no separate parking on this 0.4 km segment in our data; access is usually from the wider Hossa trail and water network. Visit Suomussalmi directs visitors to Luontoon.fi and local maps for Hossa trailheads and services. If you are hiking the Lehtovaara - Lipposensalmi route or cycling Sininen saavutus, you meet Nimettömänkoski and Syrjäsalmi as stops along those circuits. Along Peranka - Hossa vesiretkeilyreitti, paddlers can tie up at the rapids and walk the short path to the laavu.

Good to know

In Hossa, fires are only at designated sites; during forest fire warnings follow Metsähallitus and Finnish Meteorological Institute guidance. Dogs in national parks must be on a leash during the bird nesting season from 1 March to 31 July, and at other times when so posted.
