Distance
About 2–3 hours on foot for the 6.9 km segment at an easy pace; Rokua.com quotes similar thaw-season timings for nearby 5–6 km day walks that share these paths.
Est. Time
Marked forest and esker paths with sand and pine roots; short gravel or firm links near Rokua Health & Spa; occasional wet sections typical of Rokua kettle terrain—expect boardwalks only where the wider network provides them.
