Description

Luutajoki trout nature trail is about 0.7 km of easy walking in Hämeenlinna in Kanta-Häme, entirely inside Metsähallitus’s Evo hiking area beside Luutajoki stream. For descriptions and any service updates for this route, use the Luutajoen taimenpolku page on Luontoon.fi. Visit Häme’s Evo Hiking Area visitor page gives regional background, the Ruuhijärventie address, and Metsähallitus contact details for the wider destination. The path follows and crosses the small stream: Retkipaikka describes a footbridge, a short duckboard stretch, and a compact loop section beside the water. Interpretation boards along the way explain brown trout life history and other fish in the stream. Structures built for trout include spawning gravel beds and small bottom weirs that slow flow and help oxygenate the water. Stay on the path to protect shoreline vegetation, and wading in the stream is not allowed. The outing is mostly level with only minor rooty spots. Near the route end you pass Ruuhijärventien P-alue kaivo, a well beside the parking side of the forest road, before you reach Evon retkeilyalueen Ruuhijärventien info ja p-alue for parking and the large information board for the Evo area. At the junction where mountain bikers share the same short approach, Luontoon.fi and on-site marking tie into Evo’s marked bike circuits. From that corner you can continue onto Evon lyhyt maastopyöräilyreitti, Keskipitkä maastopyöräilyreitti, or Evon pitkä maastopyöräilyreitti for a longer outing after this walk.

Length & route

The trail is about 0.7 km as one short walk between the Ruuhijärventie trailhead corner and Evon retkeilyalueen Ruuhijärventien info ja p-alue. Retkipaikka timed a relaxed round trip at about 25 minutes including the small stream-side loop. Expect forest footpath, a footbridge, short duckboards, benches, a picnic table and campfire site near the parking approach, and only a few metres of elevation change overall.

Getting there

Visit Häme lists Evo Hiking Area at Ruuhijärventie 3, 16970 Hämeenlinna. Retkipaikka places the Luutajoki trout walk from the same Ruuhijärventie approach where Evon retkeilyalueen Ruuhijärventien info ja p-alue and the forest-institute trailhead boards sit. On school days there is a local bus link between Lammi and Evo for some visitors. Check Metsähallitus instructions for Evo before you travel for any parking or route network changes.

Good to know

Do not wade in Luutajoki and keep to the path to protect bank vegetation. Metsähallitus manages Evo year-round for walkers, cyclists, and fishers; large trail networks such as Ilvesvaellus fan out from the Ruuhijärventie trailhead area. Confirm campfire and fishing rules on official pages for the hiking area before lighting a fire or fishing.
