Aulangonjärvi Lake Trail is a circular hiking route of about 6 km around Lake Aulangonjärvi in the Aulanko nature reserve, Hämeenlinna, Kanta-Häme. The lake sits inside Finland’s first national urban park, and the wider woodland is managed by Metsähallitus. For swimming spots, free rowing boats at Aulangon ulkoilumaja, the observation tower season, and the Sibelius Forest interpretation trail, start with the City of Hämeenlinna’s Aulanko outdoor area pages(1). Luontoon.fi lists this route as Aulangonjärven polku with the same trailhead logic and reserve context(2). Near the start you pass Aulangonjärven kota and can use Aulangon ulkokuntosali beside the path; Aulanko näkötorni pysäköintialue and Aulanko Näkötorni kahvilarakennus sit close to the famous granite tower when you want a break before climbing. Along the eastern shore, about 1.3 km in, Lusikkaniemen uimapaikka offers a dip, and Kihtersuon uimaranta follows with a developed beach and jetties. On the high ground inland, Kärmeskallion nuotiopaikka is a natural lunch stop with views toward the water. Completing the loop along the western shore you reach Aulangonjärven uimaranta, Aulangonjärven talviuintipaikka for winter swimmers when ice allows, and Aulangon ulkoilumaja at Linnanen 77 with boats and kota fire pit in season — details and rules are on our place pages and the city site. Several car parks serve the ring: Aulanko Joutsenlampi pysäköintialue pohjoinen, Aulanko Metsälampi pysäköintialue läntinen, Aulanko Metsälampi pysäköintialue pohjoinen, and Aulanko näkötorni pysäköintialue, so you can shorten the approach from different sides of the reserve. The same junctions link to other marked routes: Ulkoilumajan luontopolku circles the lodge shore, Aulanko puu- ja pensaslajipolku and Aulanko Ruusulaakson reitti explore the Rose Valley and tree species trail by Metsälampi and Joutsenlampi, and Vanajaveden rantareitti continues the long lakeside path toward central Hämeenlinna. In winter, lit ski tracks such as Aulangon kymppi latu and Aulangon kuntoladut touch the same beaches and parking(1). A walk-focused account on Retkipaikka notes yellow paint markings in the woods, long duckboard sections tight to the water, and steady gravel shared with cyclists and dog walkers on some bays — worth reading for photos and pacing tips(3). Hämeenlinna is the home city for this loop, and Kanta-Häme frames the wider region.

For maps, service listings, and background on Ruostejärven virkistysalue, start with Luontoon.fi(1). Day-to-day details on the Toralahden cable ferry, beach services, and how the area ties into longer walks are summarised on Hämeen virkistysalueyhdistys’s Ruostejärvi page(2). Our Forest Trail is a short forest walk on that recreation area in Tammela, Kanta-Häme. The trail is about 1,5 km one way between the main shore area and the Toralahd side; many visitors walk out and back along the same path for roughly 3 km round trip(4). From the beach and parking side, the path threads through birch and pine with bog-myrtle thickets and sections of duckboards over wet ground(3)(4). About 1,2 km in you reach Ruostejärven laavu beside the narrows of Toralahden, where Hämeen Ilvesreitti meets the local network—continue west toward Liesjärvi national park on that system when you want a multi-day extension(5). The hand-drawn cable ferry (Föri II) operates across the narrows in ice-free conditions so you can reach the lean-to on the far shore without swimming(2)(3)(4). Clustered at the shore near Ruostejärven laavu are Ruostejärven uimaranta, Ruostejärven sauna, and Ruostejärven Grill Hut—handy for a swim, sauna, or picnic after the walk(2). Further along the line, Ruostejärven virkistysalueen uimaranta on the north shore and Lapinniemenmäen laavu bookend the short stretch through the wooded promontory; Myllylahden laavu sits deeper in the forest toward the Eerikkilä sport-institute side and suits longer combinations if you link other marked paths(3). The surface is a narrow footpath and duckboards rather than a wide crush gravel road; Retki ja Reissu notes the short marked loops combine nicely into a longer outing and that many paths are pleasant on a mountain bike as well as on foot(3). Hämeen virkistysalueyhdistys mentions occasional noise from nearby Highway 2; that is worth bearing in mind on still days(2). Tammela is an easy outing from Helsinki, Tampere, or Turku, and Ruostejärvi remains a popular family beach and day-hike hub(4).

Niemis–Koukkunen demanding accessible trail is about 1.5 km one way across Metsähallitus Evo hiking country on the Hämeenlinna side of the area. It connects the busy Niemisjärvi fishing cluster with Vähä-Koukkujärvi (Lastenlampi), using boardwalks and natural shore terrain. Metsähallitus publishes the route on Luontoon.fi(1). Visit Häme lists it among demanding accessible nature trails in Kanta-Häme and stresses reading the route description before a first visit(2). On a demanding accessible trail, surfaces may be soft, with roots and stones; longitudinal and cross slopes can exceed the usual limits for a fully accessible trail, and width may drop below 1.2 m. Many visitors need an assistant and an outdoor mobility aid suited to rough ground(2). From the Niemisjärvi shore you pass Niemisjärven veneenlaskupaikka, Niemisjärvi keittokatos and Niemisjärvi esteetön tulipaikka, then Keski-Niemisjärvi kalastuslava, Niemisjärven uimalaituri, Niemisjärven polkusillan tulentekopaikka and Polkusillan laavu. Tent spots Niemisjärvi telttailualue and Niemisjärvi telttailualue Keskilaavu sit among the trees; rental cabins NIEMISTUPA eräkämppä and AHDIN KÄMPPÄ lie toward the eastern shore. Useful background on Ahdinkämppä’s sauna rhythm and cabin layout is published by City of Hämeenlinna on its destination pages(6). Further on, Niemisjärvi ylinen laavu and Niemisjärven Ylisenlaavun laituri crown the Ylinen Niemisjärvi headland before the path reaches Vähä-Koukkujärvi laavu/nuotiokehä, Vähä-Koukkujärvi Nuotiokatos 2 and jetties such as Vähä-Koukkujärvi laituri 1 beside the small lake. Retkipaikka hosts Luontopolkumiehen write-up of the nearby Niemisjärvi luontopolku nature loop: a busy shore parking scene, keittokatoksia and laavuja, and blue paint marks on that separate 2.9 km circuit(3). Toisiin maisemiin describes renewals of shoreline duckboards around Niemisjärvi and early construction of the accessible connection toward Vähä-Koukkujärvi during a 2021 visit(4), useful context if you compare older trip photos with today’s decks. For a longer circuit on the same lakes, continue onto Niemisjärvi shore route. Luontoon.fi lists both trails in the Evo area(1). Respect fishing rules: the Niemisjärvet permit area is explained on the permits site(7). Hämeenlinna lies in Kanta-Häme.

Raimansuo Trail is about 2.9 km of hiking through Raimansuo, a natural protected mire between the long ridge landscapes of Janakkala and Hämeenlinna in Kanta-Häme. The bog is part of the Natura network; Likolampi and Sälilampi lie beside it. For boardwalk conditions, winter access on local roads, and how the wider trail network links toward ridge country and Hämeenlinna, start with the Municipality of Janakkala’s Raimansuo page(1). Visit Häme also lists the Lipas entry for this trail with the Sälilammentie access point in Janakkala(2). A duckboard path crosses the wet ground; official copy warns that parts of the terrain stay very damp underfoot(1). Reissukuume describes wide, renewed duckboards and small bridges that make progress easy in summer, with varied forest and rocky stretches beyond the open mire(3). Tiina’s walking blog Palvaanlinnalta Raimansuolle ja Vorokkilukolle traces a longer loop from Palvaanlinna ridge through shoreline and correctional-area margins before reaching the mire; it notes excellent duckboards at Raimansuo and a small parking spot and information board at their east end(4). That day hike is much longer than this trail segment and uses additional paths — useful if you want ideas for extending a visit, not as a description of the Lipas line alone. Hämeenlinna is the home city for this route in the directory, and Kanta-Häme is the region. The main car access described by Janakkala is along Sälilammentie near Turenki. There is no campfire site at Raimansuo itself, so plan snacks accordingly(3). The same landscape lies on the long lakeshore paddling corridor Vanajaveden melontareitti - Hollola-Hattula, which passes near this area on the water side for those combining shore and wetland trips.

Untulanharjun luontopolku is a 2 km nature trail in Lammi, Hämeenlinna, winding through one of southern Finland's most botanically distinctive esker ridges. The entire route runs through a designated nature conservation area protected under the Nature Conservation Act and forms part of a Natura 2000 site. Stay on the marked paths and do not collect plants or any other natural material. For current information on this trail, check the City of Hämeenlinna's outdoor recreation pages(1). What makes this ridge unusual is the soil: the surface layer is a fine, nutrient-rich sandy loam known locally as "Lammin lössi," which creates unexpectedly lush forest conditions for a Finnish esker. Instead of the typical sparse pine woodland, the path winds through dense avenues of hazel (pähkinäpensas) and small-leaved lime (metsälehmus). Some of the finest hazel stands in Finland are found here in Lammi and on the Lohja ridge. Luontopolkumies Mika Markkanen, who hiked the trail in August 2021 and wrote about it on Retkipaikka.fi, describes the experience as "genuinely lush, green, and leafy from the very first step — you almost had to catch your breath(2)." The trail starts with a steep climb of roughly 250 metres, gaining about 50 metres in elevation — hazel bushes line the path from the very first steps. Numbered posts mark the route; each post carries only the checkpoint number, and the descriptions are in the trail's guide booklet. Pick one up from the mailbox at the trailhead information board or borrow one from Lammi library. There are no paint markings on trees; junctions have clear signposts instead. The most memorable highlight is the henkiaukko — the breathing hole — at the eighth checkpoint. In winter, cold air accumulates deep inside the ridge; in summer, you can feel it seeping cool through the rocks. At this spot the vegetation changes completely: heather, crowberry, and a type of reindeer moss reportedly not found elsewhere in southern Finland. Beyond the breathing hole, the path skirts a boggy lake before a final challenging, rocky climb to the ridge's highest point, more than 60 metres above the surrounding fields. The route then circles a large kettle depression and returns to the start. The Untulan urheilukenttä sports field is right next to the trailhead parking area. The Lammin uimahalli swimming hall is a short walk further along Evontie.

For the wider Aulanko nature reserve network, parking hubs, and visitor services, start with the City of Hämeenlinna’s Luontoelämysten Aulanko pages(1). The species trail itself is described on Luontoon.fi as the marked teaching loop around Joutsenlampi (Swan Pond), with roughly fifty trees and shrubs identified along the way(2). The trail is about 1.0 km as a loop inside Hämeenlinna, Kanta-Häme, in Finland’s best-known Aulanko park forest. You follow the pond edge on a firm, metre-wide track where interpretation posts name each specimen so you can compare bark, crown shape, and buds at eye level(2). A narrower forest footpath completes the ring behind the shore kiosk area, so footwear with reasonable grip still helps after rain even though the lakeside half is easy underfoot(2). The shore half suits strollers and wheelchairs; the woodland half is a normal nature path(2). Reissuesan matkablogi describes Joutsenlampi as one of the park’s calmer small lakes compared with the busy Aulangonjärvi shore—useful context if you want a short, quiet botanical break between longer hikes(3). Practical clusters along the loop: the Rantareitin ulkokuntosali, Aulanko outdoor gym sits where the Vanajavesi shore route passes the sports facilities, with Aulangon tenniskentät (1 ja 2) and Aulangon tenniskentät (3 ja 4) just inland—easy to combine with a workout or a match if you already parked along Aulangontie. Aulanko Joutsenlampi pysäköintialue etelä and Aulanko Joutsenlampi pysäköintialue pohjoinen bracket the pond for short walks; Aulangontie pysäköintialue is the classic ring-road option if you approach from the main park road. For tower visits or Metsälammen views, Aulanko näkötorni pysäköintialue, Aulanko Metsälampi pysäköintialue läntinen, and Aulanko Metsälampi pysäköintialue pohjoinen sit slightly farther east along the scenic drive. The route lies a few hundred metres from Vanajaveden rantareitti, the long Vanajavesi shore walking corridor through Hämeenlinna, so you can stitch this loop onto a lakeside day. Aulangonjärven kota rests on the big lake’s shore a short detour away when you want a shelter after wandering the pond labels.

The Aulanko Aulangonniemi–Rose Valley loop is about 1.4 km and makes a short lakeside lap on the Aulangonniemi side of Lake Aulangonjärvi in Hämeenlinna, Kanta-Häme. Aulanko is Finland’s first national urban park: a packed cultural landscape of park forest, viewpoints, and exercise stops that draws hundreds of thousands of visits each year; for opening hours, services, and reserve context, City of Hämeenlinna(1) is the best starting point. Metsähallitus also publishes hiking and outdoor notes for Aulanko Nature Reserve on Luontoon.fi(2), which is useful if you stitch this loop into longer circuits. Think of the route as a quick sampler of the busy north shore: you stay close to the water and local recreation buildings rather than climbing deep into Sibelius Forest. About half a kilometre along you are near Aulanko Näkötorni kahvilarakennus and the tower parking pockets, so a granite-tower break fits naturally if the season and hours allow; the city highlights the 33 m tower and national landscape in its Aulanko material(1). A little farther, Lusikkaniemen uimapaikka offers a sandy swimming spot on the headland. On the return along the shore you pass the cluster around Aulangonjärven uimaranta, Aulangon ulkoilumaja, and Aulangonjärven kota, with Aulangon ulkokuntosali and Aulangonjärven talviuintipaikka nearby—handy if you want a dip, outdoor gym reps, or winter swimming infrastructure in season. The lap sits inside the same trail ecosystem as Aulanko Karhuluolan yläreitti, Aulanko Ruusulaakson reitti, and Aulanko Metsälammen polku, which share parking and lakeshore access points. Ruusulaakso(3) describes how the roughly 7 km lake circuit passes the holiday-cottage side of Rose Valley and Lusikkaniemi’s beach—context that matches the scenery this shorter line touches even though our path is only part of that wider walk. Retkeilyä Satakunnassa ja muualla Suomessa adds practical colour on how sights sit near the ring-road parking network and how easy mileage feels day to day(4).

Accessible Samo (Esteetön Samo) is a demanding accessible hiking tread of about 0.9 km beside Luutalammi in Komio nature reserve, in Loppi, Kanta-Häme. The route is published on Luontoon.fi as part of the Häme Lynx Trail. For markings, forest-road barriers during winter and spring thaw, slope figures, and rental contacts for assistive outdoor devices, the Luontoon.fi trail page(1) and the City of Loppi's Komio / Samo outdoor instructions(2) are the best official combination. The tread is built as a crushed base with a fine gravel wearing course and is about 1.2 m wide(2). From the Luutasuo 243 parking you walk a short stretch of forest road past service buildings, then follow the demanding accessible symbol marking counter-clockwise along the lakeshore(2). Three bench spots sit close to the water for pauses and for fishing from a wheelchair without a separate dock(2)(3). A wide footbridge leads to a lakeside campfire area with a ground-level hearth and picnic tables(2); Luutalammin tulentekopaikka and Luutasuo tulentekopaikka sit in the same shoreline cluster for visitors continuing on foot from nearby loops. Dry toilets, including an accessible unit and shelter storage, lie near the parking end of the forest road(2). The return leg retraces the gravel tread and the footbridge, then threads past a few steps beside the woodshed before the last stretch of road back to the car park(2). City material stresses that this is "demanding" accessible terrain: longitudinal grades can exceed about 8 percent and cross slope about 3 percent in places, with roots and stones possible and weather adding friction(2). Many people use an assistant and mobility equipment suited to rougher crushed surfaces; front casters or a small nose wheel are often mentioned for wheelchair users(2). There is no winter maintenance on the tread, and the Luutalammi parking and its forest approach are closed while winter ski tracks use the road and during spring thaw when gates are locked(2). The same Luutasuo 243 trailhead parking links to Pikku-Samo, Luutaharjun Samo, longer Hämeen Ilvesreitti sections, and Komion pyöräilyreitti when you want a longer outing. Retkipaikka's Komio article adds shoreline atmosphere from a visitor perspective and notes how often benches appear along the accessible tread(3). YouTube search did not surface a clip that clearly and responsibly showcases only this short tread under the site's trail-overview rules; a suitable video can be added later.

For markings, responsible riding, and the latest Metsähallitus guidance on this demanding mountain bike line in Aulanko Nature Reserve, start with the Aulanko maastopyöräreitti vaativa page on Luontoon.fi(1). The City of Hämeenlinna introduces the wider reserve—Finland’s first national urban park, managed by Metsähallitus—with the English-style park forest, lookout tower, and large annual visitor numbers(2). The mountain biking route on our map is about 6.4 km as one point-to-point ride through Hämeenlinna in Kanta-Häme. It climbs and drops in the hill forest of Aulangonvuori rather than staying on flat lakeside paths, so expect sustained climbing and fast descents. Häme-Wiki, a regional outdoor wiki maintained by local contributors, traces the marked summer line to cooperation that began in 2019 between Metsähallitus, the city, Hämeenlinna district 4H, and Tawast Cycling Club TCC, and describes red reflectors and bicycle symbols on wooden posts together with clockwise travel as the comfortable default(3). MTBreitti’s trail notes for the wider Aulanko network stress that in the nature reserve you may ride off-road only on the dedicated mountain bike routes, compacted paths, fitness trails, and roads—so stay on the marked corridor and track geometry carefully(4). Early on you pass swimming and picnic pockets such as Lusikkaniemen uimapaikka, Kärmeskallion nuotiopaikka, and Kihtersuon uimaranta. About 3 km along, Kalastuspuiston nuotiopaikka sits west of the main hotel and sports strip; nearer Aulangontie the line brushes Joutsenlampi parking areas, outdoor gym spots, and resort services including Scandic Aulangon kylpylä. Farther toward Lake Aulangonjärvi you approach Aulangonjärven kota and Aulangon ulkoilumaja with Aulangonjärven uimaranta and winter swimming access nearby, then Aulangon ulkokuntosali before closing in on Metsälampi parking and the Aulanko Näkötorni kahvilarakennus beside the historic tower viewpoint. Häme-Wiki suggests roughly one kilometre to the tower viewpoint zone and about three kilometres to the Joutsenlampi corner along the marked summer profile—helpful pacing even though their published total is rounded slightly longer than the GPX segment here(3). The same forest links to other trails on our map: winter skiers follow Aulangon kuntoladut, walkers use Aulanko Aulangonjärven polku and the short Aulanko Karhuluolan yläreitti branch near the bear cave spur described in local guides(3). After the ride, fatbikes and other hire bikes for exploring the area are available from Aulanko Outdoors at Katajistonranta by advance booking(5).

The Komio cycling route is about 15.1 km point-to-point through Komio Nature Reserve in Loppi, in the lake uplands of Kanta-Häme. State-owned forest and water are managed by Metsähallitus; for reserve-wide rules, services, and current notices, the Komio Nature Reserve entry on Luontoon.fi is the clearest starting point(1). The City of Loppi’s Poronpolku cycling pages situate this corner of the network: Komio is named explicitly, and riders are reminded to stay on marked trails in the nature reserve while preparing for steep esker climbs, narrow needle tracks, roots, and short duckboard sections typical of the wider Poronpolku and Häme Lynx Trail terrain(2). For day-to-day access—seasonal boom barriers on forest roads, parking addresses, campfire rules, and the spring–summer shore restriction around Luutalammi for nesting birds—use the City of Loppi’s Luutaharju and Samo trail pages(3). By distance, the ride threads the Komionlammet pond cluster first: about 2.7 km from the start you are near Komionlammet tulentekopaikka 2, Komionlammit kuivakäymälä, and Komionlammet tulentekopaikka—handy for a break before continuing south-east through ridge and mire settings. From roughly 8.7 km the Luutalammi shore area groups Luutalammin käymälä-varasto, Luutasuo tulentekopaikka, Luutalammin tulentekopaikka, Luutalammi esteetön käymälä, and several Luutalammi and Luutasuontie parking pockets, so you can choose vehicle access that matches the municipality’s seasonal gate schedule(3). The route finishes closer to the Luutasuontie parking strip; combine or shorten using those lots if you shuttle with a second car. The marked Samo walking loops (Luutaharjun Samo, Pikku-Samo, Esteetön Samo) and the longer Poronpolku line share junctions and views with this cycling connection; Poronpolku is described as part of the broader Häme Lynx Trail network with blue MTB marking in the field, while Poronpolku event routes add separate red “PPP” signing in autumn(2)(5). The shorter Häme Lynx Trail: Loppi day loop overlaps the same trailhead cluster if you want to mix hiking and biking in one outing. Out in the Nature’s Komio report highlights the scaled relief—glacial eskers, supa ponds, and open mires—and notes dogs are welcome on leash and campfires only where the land manager allows(4). Talented riders sometimes use Komio as a compact leg between Häme Lynx Trail and Poronpolku segments; others ride it as a fitness day in forest without committing to the full 28 km Poronpolku tour. Match your bike and tyres to mixed gravel, soft sand on ridges after rain, and short boardwalk approaches near Luutalammi.

For maps, rules, and the marked mountain bike network at Evo, start from the Evo hiking area cycling section on Luontoon.fi(1). Metsähallitus publishes a free trail map that groups riding into three colour-coded corridors; the shortest option on that material is described at about 17 km as the easy line through forest roads, cart tracks, and forest paths(2). Visit Häme gives a practical regional overview, notes Metsähallitus Luontopalvelut as the manager, and lists Ruuhijärventie 3 in Hämeenlinna as a key service address for the destination(3). The trail is about 14.5 km as one continuous line. It is not a loop. Official print rounding on the easiest corridor is slightly longer than our GPX trace(2); use 14.5 km here for GPS-based planning. Hämeenlinna and Kanta-Häme anchor the destination in southern Finland’s lake-and-esker forest belt. Early on you pass the Evon frisbee golf layout and the forest-college sports cluster near Metsäopiston liikuntasali, then Kivelän ranta for a swim stop if the weather suits. Near the 3 km mark, Ruuhijärventie bundles an information point with parking—and shortly after that, the Ruuhijärvi shore band adds a meeting cabin and campfire opportunities away from the main trace. About 14 km in, the Onninmaja service cluster groups Onninmaja vuokratupa, a sauna, a jetty, a well, and campfire sites; Onninmaja parkkialue works well if you want to finish with a longer break by the water. Onkimaankangas nuotiokehä offers another campfire ring a little before that cluster. The route touches the same landscape that independent riders describe on Lomavinkit.fi’s Evo overview: kilometres of marked riding where yellow and red corridors feel different in difficulty, with beaver impoundments or wet ground occasionally changing how smooth the going feels on forest tyres(6). Vuoreksenveto’s multi-day MTB diary from Evo adds ground-level detail—roots and stone, narrow forest singletrack segments, worn duckboards on lake shores, and junctions where dashed lines on paper can behave like forest roads in the field—worth reading if you want a candid feel for how technical the terrain can get before you load the bike(5). The same notes praise the Rusthollinkangas–Onkimankangas branch from the forest-school corner and the Syrjä-side singletrack when you later stitch longer loops(5). If you are on foot nearby, Syrjänalusen lenkki shares some of the same shoreline and shelter network; on a bike, stay on the marked MTB corridor where conservation rules apply(1)(2).

Plan this ride using the Evo MTB long corridor page on Luontoon.fi(1) together with Metsähallitus visitor map material that groups Evo riding into three colour-coded options, including the roughly 67 km intermediate corridor that pairs with the shorter yellow and red networks(2). Visit Häme summarises the wider destination, notes Metsähallitus Luontopalvelut as the manager, and gives Ruuhijärventie 3 in Hämeenlinna as a practical service address for the area(3). The trail is about 63.9 km as one point-to-point line. It is not a loop. Metsähallitus print rounding for the long corridor is a little longer than our GPX trace(2); use 63.9 km for GPS-based planning. Hämeenlinna and Kanta-Häme situate Evo in southern Finland’s lake and esker forests. From the Onninmaja end you soon have Onninmaja parkkialue, then Onninmaja vuokratupa with Onninmaja sauna, Onnin majan kaivo, Onninmajan laituri, and Onninmaja tulentekopaikka—good services if you start or finish by the water. Onkimaankangas nuotiokehä adds a campfire ring within the first couple of kilometres. After RUUHIJÄRVI kokouskämppä and LATVATUPA eräkämppä, the Niemisjärvi shoreline band packs laavut, jetties, and NIEMISTUPA eräkämppä into a compact lakeshore stage. Vähä-Koukkujärvi laavu/nuotiokehä, Lastenlammen pysäköintialue, and Vähä-Koukkujärvi vanha pysäköintialue sit in the same lake corner; Kalliojärvi tulentekopaikka and SYVÄJÄRVI kämppä follow as the line climbs toward rougher shore terrain. About 35 km in, Evon retkeilyalueen Ruuhijärventien info ja p-alue is a natural resupply and parking pivot before Evon frisbeegolfrata, Metsäopiston liikuntasali, and Kivelän ranta. Evon leirialue Uittaja and Evon leirialue Hiilestäjä carry the big campsite infrastructure with cooking shelters and fireplaces. South of there, Evon retkeilyalueen Syrjänalusen p-alue leads into Syrjänalusen laavu and Syrjänalunen nuotiokehä by the shore—useful if you are comparing a walking option on Syrjänalusen lenkki with this bike corridor. Further east, Evon retkeilyalueen Keltaojan p-alue and Evon retkeilyalueen Rahtijärven p-alue bracket forest road links toward Keltaojan laavu. Near 52 km the Sorsakolu laavu cluster meets Hämeen Ilvesreitti and Vaarinkorpi laavu/tulipaikka; Hakovuoren lenkki shares the same shelter corner if you later add a walking loop. Valkea-Mustajärven laavu, Valkea Mustajärvi telttailualue, and linked fireplaces prepare you for the last lakes before Evon leirialue Kulottaja, Evon leirialueen Jeon nuotiokatos, and the Käenpesä-side jetties at the northern camp shore. Lomavinkit.fi’s Evo overview contrasts the yellow east-side ride with the west-side red line and describes how beaver dams can soften or flood stretches between seasons—worth reading before you choose tyres and spare time(6). Vuoreksenveto’s Evo journal adds ground-level notes on roots, stones, worn duckboards beside lakes, and junctions where dashed lines on paper can ride like forest roads in the forest(5). Pasin retkeilyblogi walks through packing for an overnight bike trip from Kuohijärvi toward Niemisjärvi, Valkea-Mustajärvi, and Sorsakolu, including how a beaver dam once swallowed duckboards on the walking trace—context that still matters when you judge water crossings after wet weather(7). Stay on the marked MTB corridor wherever conservation zoning demands it(1)(2).
