Description

City of Hämeenlinna – Aulanko and Sibelius Forest+

Description

The Levonkorpi loop is about 2.2 km and circles Jean Sibelius Forest, the nature reserve east of Aulangonjärvi in Hämeenlinna, Kanta-Häme. The area belongs to Finland’s national urban park in Hämeenlinna and complements older Aulanko walking trails; Metsähallitus administers the wider east-side nature reserve, while Hämeenlinnan kaupunki publishes the Sibelius Forest and Aulanko outdoor pages that are the best place to cross-check routes, services, and background for this corner of the park. When the Levonkorpi extension was added, Yle reported six new story boards continuing the Sibelius theme with forest beliefs, heritage, and habitat care, and a toilet building beside the Levonkallio campfire area. Evon Luonto’s Sibelius Forest introduction adds that Levonkallio and Kärmeskallio look out over Aulangonjärvi toward Aulanko’s granite lookout tower on the far shore—helpful context for why the reserve is framed as a quiet “forest cathedral” of tall trees. About 0.7 km into the circuit you pass Kärmeskallion nuotiopaikka on Levonhaantie, a natural pause with a campfire ring for day visitors. The loop threads through the Käärme and Levon cliff areas and Levonhaka core described on the city pages. If you want a longer day, step onto Aulanko Aulangonjärven polku for a full lake tour past Aulangonjärven kota and the swimming beaches; in winter the same shore network links to Aulangonjärven jäälatu and the lit ski trails around Aulanko. Retkeilyä Satakunnassa ja muualla Suomessa walked the broader Aulanko shore routes and reminds readers to carry a reserve map when stitching short segments together. Metsähallitus publishes reserve-wide walking and service notes for Aulangon luonnonsuojelualue on Luontoon.fi —useful alongside the city material when you plan parking or combine this loop with the main park forest.

Length & route

The circuit is about 2.2 km as one loop through Sibelius Forest. Yle describes part of the tread as wood-chip surfaced alongside natural forest path. Terrain is easy and aimed at families and casual walkers.

Getting there

Hämeenlinnan kaupunki recommends reaching Sibelius Forest on foot from Kihtersuon uimaranta along duckboards or from Aulangon Heikkilä following the nature trail markers. Drivers typically stage at the familiar Aulanko shore parking pockets and walk in; Nuotiopaikat.fi lists coordinates near the Kärmeskallio shoreline fireplaces for the eastern shore (about 61.0255, 24.4846, Aulangontorpantie 94–104, Hämeenlinna). Confirm the best winter access and any temporary closures on the city pages before you travel.

Good to know

Story boards along the loop present text in Finnish and English. Thousands of visitors hike the Sibelius Forest trails each year; expect calm paths on weekdays and more foot traffic on sunny weekends. Dogs are not discussed on the pages sampled—check current local rules on the city site before bringing pets. Fishing on Aulangonjärvi requires association permits sold online; swimming is possible at city beaches around the lake.

History

The Levonkorpi extension to the Sibelius Forest nature trail was completed in 2021 according to the City of Hämeenlinna and Yle’s reporting from the opening.
