6.1 km
Distance
Koli24 suggests treating the café circuit as a full easy-paced summer day trip rather than a speed hike; 6.1 km on forest tread is often about two to three hours of walking without long food stops.
Est. Time
Forest and recreation-area paths between village clearings, heritage-farm lanes, and upland parking; occasional boardwalk or ski-route overlap is possible where other trails share the line.
