Iitti Map

The Kausala–Anhava outdoor route is about 10.2 km on our map as a point-to-point link through Iitti between Kausala and the Anhava area toward Kuusankoski. The trail sits in the same corridor as the municipality’s named winter connection Kausala–Anhava (Kuusankoski)–Kausala; Iitin kunta maintains ski tracks and lit fitness-trail sections here in winter depending on snow, and publishes grooming status and lighting hours on its ski trails pages(1). For parking, seasonal events, and the wider lit route network around the Myllytöyry ski lodge, see the Iitin kunta Hiihtomaja page(2). The route passes the Myllytöyry sports cluster near Hiihtäjäntie in Kausala. About 3.7 km from the start you are beside Hiihtomajan kuntoportaat Iitti, the outdoor fitness stairs with 117 steps opened in spring 2021, lit after dark, with usage rules on the Kuntoportaat page(3). Next to the stairs is Iitti DiscGolfPark. Tillolan ampumarata lies close to the line where the route runs past the shooting-range area—respect any range safety signage and keep to public paths. The same corridor ties into Kausalan valaistu latu and Kausalan kuntorata at the sports hub, and onward toward Anhavan kuntopolku and Anhavan latu; at the Anhava end, Nauhan hiihtomaja and Nauhan laavu sit on those loops for breaks and shelter when you extend the day. Jälki.fi lists many MTB and trail combinations around Iitti for riders who want longer loops from the same landscape(4). Iitti is in Kymenlaakso. Terrain is a mix of forest paths, local roads, and maintained exercise corridors; expect shared use with skiers and runners where winter routes overlap the line.

Iitti lies in Kymenlaakso. Juustopolku (Iitti) is about 8 km as one hiking section on the historic cheese-trade path between Vuolenkoski village and the Läpiän laavu area. The full Juustopolku between Vuolenkoski and Heinola is often described at roughly 17 km as a day hike through spruce forest beside the Kymijoki water system(3)(4); this page follows the shorter Iitti portion only. For maps and the trail entry on Metsähallitus outdoor services, start from the Juustopolku (Iitti) page on Luontoon.fi(1). From the Läpiän laavu end you travel on forest paths and forest roads toward Vuolenkoski. About 4.3 km along, the line passes Tupasaron ampumarata; Retkipaikka’s walk-through notes the shooting range and hunting structures nearby and recommends extra care during moose season(3). Near the Vuolenkoski end you pass village sports and meeting places—Vuolenkosken seuratalon sali, Vuolenkosken pallokenttä, Vuolenkosken kaukalo, Vuolenkoski Areena, and Vuolenkosken koulun sali—useful landmarks if you arrive from the village side. Läpiän laavu sits on the same long-distance trail as Juustopolku (Heinola): from that lean-to the Heinola-registered segment continues toward Korvenlampi and Heinola with additional lean-tos and campfire spots on the longer itinerary(3). At Vuolenkoski the route meets the regional Pyöräreitit cycling network, so you can combine a hike with bike touring in the same area. Heinolan Latu and Vuolenkoski village association organise an annual late-September group hike on the full Juustopolku, with buses between Heinola and Vuolenkoski and maintenance checks on markings beforehand(2). That event is on the whole trail, not only this 8 km slice, but it shows how active local volunteers keep the corridor usable. VisitLahti summarises the wider Heinola–Vuolenkoski trail story—spruce forest, possible beaver signs, and the Kupparinkivi boulder on the longer Heinola-direction leg(4). Terrain mixes rooty and stony foot sections with short forest-road carries; sturdy footwear pays off after rain(3).
