Luontoon.fi – Evon retkeilyalue (hiking and outdoor recreation)+

Description

This segment sits in Metsähallitus’s Evo hiking area in Hämeenlinna, Kanta-Häme. For maps, services, and the latest access notes for the area, start from the Evo hiking and outdoor recreation pages on Luontoon.fi. The trail is about 3.1 km end to end: a short point-to-point link on the regional Hämeen Ilvesreitti walking network, which Hämeen virkistysalueyhdistys describes as roughly 273 km in total with yellow lynx-symbol waymarks. Out in the Nature summarises the wider 250 km Häme Lynx Trail across municipalities and nature areas in the Häme lake uplands. The line runs through forest between the Vaarinkorpi and Sorsakolu shore areas. About 1.4 km from the start, Vaarinkorpi laavu/tulipaikka, Vaarinkorven laavu/tulipaikka, and Vaarinkorpi käymälä form a compact rest cluster with lean-tos, fire places, and a dry toilet. About 2.3–2.4 km along, Sorsakolu puuvaja-käymälä, Sorsakolu laavu, and Sorsakolun laavu offer another lean-to group and firewood shelter by the water. Retkipaikka’s Evo visit notes how close many Evo lean-tos are to forest roads and how popular Sorsakolu feels as a central meeting point on the lake. From this junction you can continue onto longer marked routes on the same network: Hämeen ilvesreitti, yhdysreitti Iso-Tarus - Evo toward Tarus and Päijänne-Ilves connections, Hakovuoren lenkki, Sorsan lenkki, or the large Sorsakolun lenkki loop through other Evo lakes and campsites. The City of Hämeenlinna lists Ilvesvaellus connector routes from Evo toward Padasjoki and Asikkala on Luontoon.fi.

Length & route

The trail is about 3.1 km end to end on our map. It is a point-to-point section, not a loop. The same trail junction ties into Hämeen ilvesreitti, yhdysreitti Iso-Tarus - Evo as a longer connector, plus Hakovuoren lenkki, Sorsan lenkki, and Sorsakolun lenkki on the Evo side. The regional Hämeen Ilvesreitti network is on the order of 250–273 km.

Getting there

The Evo and Tarus hiking areas lie along highways 24 and 53 south of Padasjoki; from Hämeenlinna the drive is about 50 km. You can start a day hike from Evokeskus or other parking areas around the Evo road network. Metsähallitus publishes the main trail map and destination information for Evo on Luontoon.fi.

Good to know

Campfires belong only at maintained fire sites when no forest fire warning is in effect; gathering firewood from the forest is not allowed, so use wood provided at lean-tos where available. The area is promoted as leave-no-trace: carry out what you carry in. For lure fishing, permits apply through Eräluvat and some areas may restrict camping.
