Description

For how Kontionpolut labels main loops versus yhdysreitti connectors—and the note that connection legs mix forest trail with roads so a mountain bike is recommended—start from the Kontionpolut trail map the Municipality of Kontiolahti publishes; it places Kylmäojan koulu squarely on those connector lines north of the Lehmo–biathlon cluster. The route is about 2 km as one point-to-point line. It is not a loop. It sits in North Karelia on Jaamankangas in Kontiolahti and stitches the wider Kontionpolut mountain-bike, trail-running, and walking network toward the Kylmäoja school sports precinct—handy if you want to combine a short forest link with neighbourhood pitches, an outdoor training space, and indoor sports halls at the school address cluster. Municipality of Kontiolahti promotes Kontionpolut as its principal marked network of four linked loops plus onward hooks to Joensuu’s orange Jaama Trail ring, Liperi’s Kinttupolut via Lykynlampi, and the long Kolinpolku corridor toward national scenery; electronic mapping is available through retkikartta.fi. Visit Karelia frames the same network as part of a Joensuu-region path system with harbour and biathlon-stadium services, helmets recommended for mountain bikers, and many laavu and campfire stops on the longer loops. Play Kontiolahti’s long-read article adds that esker forest keeps much of Kontionpolut fast while the Kontioniemi arm and links toward Kolinpolku bring the toughest grades—useful background if you chain this connector into a demanding day. The line shares the Kontionpolut junction family with the short Kontionpolut connector to Kolinpolku Trail (Jaama–Uuro link); ride colours and splits with the downloadable Kontionpolut trail map before you commit at crossings, and keep the same Municipality of Kontiolahti Kontionpolut hub open for operational updates. Joensuu’s Jaama Trail PDF calls out tougher ridge passages around Kylmäoja when you work the wider 60 km ring that also feeds Kontionpolut. Our page lists the outdoor gym and ball-sports stops you roll past near the school without needing extra wayfinding jargon. Kontiolahti Outdoor at the biathlon stadium can supply advance-booked e-bikes and fatbikes for network rides when you arrive without your own mountain bike—confirm details on the equipment rental page.

Length & route

The trail is about 2 km point-to-point. The Kontionpolut map groups yhdysreitti connectors separately from the four numbered loops and notes trail plus road surfaces with mountain bikes recommended on those links.

Getting there

Municipality of Kontiolahti recommends Kontiolahti harbour (Satamatie 4) and the biathlon stadium (Napakympintie 24) as the main staging hubs for Kontionpolut, with stadium-side washing and changing facilities highlighted for cyclists on Visit Karelia. Join this connector from those network approaches using the Kontionpolut trail map and retkikartta.fi layers. Joensuu-bound riders often traverse the shared Jaamankangas and Lykynlampi junctions described on regional cycling pages.

Good to know

Winter maintenance on Kontionpolut focuses on named Salpalinja Winter Trail and Stadium Winter Trail corridors rather than every summer connector; plan accordingly if you rely on groomed winter biking or walking. Observe forestry fire warnings and use designated fire structures on neighbouring loops where firewood is provided. There is no dedicated trail lighting for night rides—carry lamps if you might finish after sunset under canopy.

History

The present Kontionpolut network on Jaamankangas was built through a 2016–2018 LEADER development project titled Kontionpolut – monikäyttöreitistö Jaamankankaalle, implemented by Municipality of Kontiolahti to grow year-round outdoor use with an emphasis on mountain biking while supporting walking and trail running.

Where to rent bikes

Kontiolahti Outdoor operates from the biathlon stadium at Napakympintie 24 and, per the stadium operator’s rental information, offers mountain bikes, fatbikes, and other outdoor rental gear with advance reservation—see the equipment rental page for contacts and hours.

The published Kontionpolut map separates numbered loop colours from yhdysreitti connectors and stresses signed junction logic across the whole network. Visit Karelia’s colour key for the main Kontionpolut loops—yellow Välilampi, green Salpalinja, blue Stadium, orange Jaama Trail—still helps read crossing panels when you plug this short leg into longer rides.
