Polvijärvi Map

For trailhead parking, the Viklinrimmen nature reserve setting, and how visitors are directed into the Ruvaslahti area, start with the City of Polvijärvi outdoor destinations pages(1). Metsähallitus summarises Viklinrimpi as a mosaic of open mires and dry pine ridges beside Lake Höytiäinen’s headwaters, with strong value for migratory birds and a state-maintained lean-to used for nearby recreation(2). Retkiseikkailu’s Polvijärvi route list points readers back to the municipality for the marked Viklinrimmen walking network and is handy when you are comparing day-hike distances in the same corner of North Karelia(3). Broader regional browsing and map layers for eastern Finland sit on Visit Karelia’s outdoor site, which the municipality links for province-wide planning(4). Tiaissärkkä Trail is about 4.1 km as a point-to-point hike in Polvijärvi, North Karelia. The route begins at Tiaissärkän laavu, a natural first stop for a snack, shelter from weather, and planning the next leg along the path. Terrain in the wider Viklinrimmen Natura area is famously flat to gently rolling mire and ridge forest; the reserve’s open fens can host large numbers of resting songbirds during migration, which is why the official destination text calls out birdwatching alongside walking(1)(2). On other marked visitor routes in the reserve, the City of Polvijärvi describes duckboarded approaches that end at a raised viewing deck—worth combining with this trail if you want a structured lookout over the wetland tapestry(1). Rauanjoki cuts through the protected forests as a quiet canoe corridor in spring and late summer according to Metsähallitus background materials(2). Keep wetland margins fragile: stay on marked paths where they exist, carry out litter, and treat shelters and fire rules the way you would in any shared Natura landscape(1)(2). Polvijärvi lies on the northern side of the Höytiäinen watercourse system; Pohjois-Karjala gives the wider eastern Lakeland character for the outing.
