Description
The trail is about 37.6 km end-to-end across the Evo hiking area in Hämeenlinna, Kanta-Häme. Metsähallitus lists it in English as Evo MTB 39 km and marks it as an intermediate-length option among the official Evo mountain-bike circuits; for the latest route description and difficulty notes, start from the Keskipitkä maastopyöräreitti page on Luontoon.fi. A companion map-and-services PDF bundles this line with the shorter and longer Evo MTB alternatives in the same forest recreation area. Independent travel writing on Lomavinkit sums up why the mix of forest roads, former cart tracks, and narrower forest paths has made Evo a draw for southern Finland riders. The ride is not a tidy loop: it begins near the forest-institute campus by Evon frisbeegolfrata and Metsäopiston liikuntasali, shares terrain early on with the Syrjänalusen lenkki walking circuit, and finishes closer to Ruuhijärvi–road access at Evon retkeilyalueen Ruuhijärventien info ja p-alue.
From just over a kilometre in, Onninmaja parkkialue, Onninmaja vuokratupa, Onninmaja tulentekopaikka, and Onninmajan laituri cluster around Lake Onninlammi—useful if you want parking, a rental cabin, sauna, or a lakeshore pause before the climb to RUUHIJÄRVI kokouskämppä and LATVATUPA eräkämppä above the northern lakes. Onkimaankangas nuotiokehä marks a short campfire stop in spruce forest on the way up. The Niemisjärvi lakeshore service area then opens into docks, cooking shelters, lean-tos, reservable huts, and tent pitches—Polkusillan laavu, Niemisjärvi telttailualue, NIEMISTUPA eräkämppä, and AHDIN KÄMPPÄ are among the named places riders pass—and Vähä-Koukkujärvi laavu/nuotiokehä adds another campfire shelter before the track climbs toward Kalliojärvi tulentekopaikka and SYVÄJÄRVI kämppä on the northern lake rim. Guided fatbike outings and packaged programmes in the same landscape are promoted through Evo Outdoors Finland on the City of Hämeenlinna website.
Length & route
About 37.6 km from start to finish as one continuous point-to-point ride. Finnish- and English-language materials from Metsähallitus often round the same marked line to roughly 39 km and classify it as the medium Evo MTB option between the easier short circuit and the long circuit.
Getting there
Most riders join the line from the Evokeskus side near Evon frisbeegolfrata, Onninmaja parkkialue, and Metsäopiston liikuntasali, where parking and campus services are concentrated. The ride finishes near Evon retkeilyalueen Ruuhijärventien info ja p-alue on Ruuhijärventie; if you need a shuttle or a second car, plan accordingly because the ends are separated. Metsähallitus publishes car-arrival and parking notes for the wider Evo hiking area on Luontoon.fi—use those pages together with this trail page when choosing a trailhead.
Good to know
The broader Evo recreation area is busy on summer weekends; expect hikers, anglers, and camper vans at Niemisjärvi services. Campfires belong only on maintained structures; during forest-fire warnings open fires are prohibited—check Ilmatieteen laitos. Mobile coverage is patchy in places, so download offline maps before you ride. Carry tools and spares suited to rooty forest sections after rain.
Where to rent bikes
Aulanko Outdoors handles fatbike rental and guided fatbike sessions in Hämeenlinna through their dedicated fatbike page—use it to see what they lend, typical group options, and how to book. Evon Luonto rents fatbikes (from about €55/day including VAT, including children’s models) together with Fenix Ohjelmapalvelut and other partners, but only for guests staying in their Evo-area accommodation; reservations, the €500 minimum with transport, and the 14-day advance deadline are all explained on their sports-equipment rental page.
Guided tours & Experiences
Fenix Ohjelmapalvelut runs year-round guided fatbike safaris with Trek Farley bikes, route planning, guide, helmets as needed, and liability insurance; they name Evo among their favourite southern Finland ride areas and publish duration, typical group size, and per-person pricing on their fatbike service page. Evo Outdoors Finland still focuses on bespoke corporate and group programmes in the same forest—start from the City of Hämeenlinna contact card for phone, email, and an overview of what they arrange.
The line is part of the marked Evo MTB network; carry the Metsähallitus MTB map or GPX and follow the dedicated bike-route markings rather than generic hiking symbols.
