City of Joensuu’s Jaama Trail article on Visit Karelia describes the northern arc of the big orange-marked Jaama ring, including rocky and rooty stretches between the Hirvisärkkä and Häikänniemi branches—only a few hundred metres at a time and walkable beside the bike when needed. Municipality of Kontiolahti explain...
Point-to-point along the orange Jaama Trail branch toward Häikänniemi; return is typically the same line unless you join longer Jaama or Kontionpolut circuits.

Narrow forest trail and lake-shore tread typical of Jaama Trail’s northern Pyhäselkä sections; Visit Karelia calls out short rocky and rooty passages in the Hirvisärkkä–Häikänniemi area that demand care when wet.
