Description

Honkanen Nature Trail is about 2.5 km as a loop in Kempele, North Ostrobothnia. It sits in the Köykkyri–Honkasen outdoor area on the recreation hill south of Oulu: the same forest and hill surroundings as the roughly 36 km Köykkyri hiking and mountain-biking trail network, the Honkasen kuntorata running loop, and winter lit tracks such as Honkasen valaistu latu and Koiralatu Kempele. For maps, ring lengths elsewhere in the network, toilets at the service building, and rules for the whole Köykkyri system, start with the City of Kempele’s trail-network page. National service copy and Pohde’s Reittis listing summarise the network, including the link route toward the Oulu border where outdoor routes continue toward Rusko. Along this short loop you stay close to the Pyrinnöntie side of the hill: Köykkyri DiscGolfPark, Pyrinnön maja, Köykkyrin ulkokuntoilupuisto, Köykkyrin kuntoportaat, Köykkyrin rinne, and Peipontien kenttä are all beside or just off the route — the same cluster Honkasen kuntorata and ski trails use for workouts and breaks. About a third of a kilometre into the walk you pass Köykkyrin tulentekopaikka, a campfire spot for a pause if you bring your own supplies. Marjasuo Nature Trail meets the same Köykkyri campfire point from another direction if you want to combine loops. Kempele works well as a half-day outing from Oulu.

Length & route

The trail is about 2.5 km as a loop through the Köykkyri–Honkasen hill area. It is shorter than the named ring routes on the City of Kempele’s Köykkyri network page (those are listed separately there).

Getting there

The Köykkyri trail network uses the upper recreation-area parking at Lehmikentäntie 33, 90450 Kempele, with a service building and daytime-access toilets — the City of Kempele describes this as the main start for the wider system. This loop runs through the Köykkyri–Honkasen outdoor cluster; the Pyrinnöntie facilities (disc golf, Pyrinnön maja, outdoor gym, fitness stairs, ski hill) sit beside the route on the hill side.

Good to know

Motor vehicles are not allowed on the Köykkyri trail network. For the latest on maintenance or partial work on other rings (for example Marjasuo and Haukkasuon henkäsy), check the City of Kempele and national summaries.
