Description

For maps, rules, and structures across Metsähallitus’ Iso-Syöte hiking area, start from the Iso-Syöte hiking area page on Luontoon.fi. The Visit Syöte destination site rounds out accommodation, events, and seasonal ideas for the wider Syöte holiday area. The Iso-Syöte resort’s mountain biking hub describes the large maintained network in the same landscape and notes that route maintenance is Metsähallitus’ responsibility, with up-to-date route text on Luontoon.fi. Regional news described Kettutupa being relocated in early 2023 so it sits along the former Ketun kevennys line—now marketed at Iso-Syöte as Harjujen kierros—better serving cyclists and other trail users. The listing name Ketunlenkki SUUNNITTEILLA flags that this hiking line is still shown as in planning in source data; treat signage and final naming as subject to change and confirm details on Luontoon.fi before a trip. This is not the well-known Luontoreitti Ketunlenkki near Kurikka on Luontoon.fi, nor the famous Ketunlenkki loop in Repovesi—those are different regions entirely. On our map the walk is about 4.8 km and is not a closed loop. It runs through the Luppovesi recreation pocket next to Iso-Syöte: you pass Luppoveden uimaranta on Syötetie and the Syötteen Luppopark activity area, with Luppoveden nuotiopaikka ja kato for a kota shelter and campfire stop. Iso-Syöte ski centre sits just off the same cluster, handy if you combine a short walk with lift-serviced skiing in winter. Further along the line, Kettutupa päivätupa and Kettutupa offer a day shelter and a small wilderness hut with Kettupa liiteri/käymälä for firewood storage and a dry toilet—natural lunch and windbreak stops in forest terrain. The same corridor ties into longer Syöte networks: the Taivalkoski–Atsinki–Syöte mountain biking route, Maisemareitti, the long UKK Trail (Syöte–Puolanka section), and a parallel mountain-biking line also labelled Ketunlenkki SUUNNITTEILLA in our database. If you are planning a bigger day, read those route pages and Luontoon.fi’s cycling material for the 25 km Harjujen kierros ring, which shares the broader Iso-Syöte trail philosophy but is a different distance and activity mix than this short hiking segment. Pudasjärvi lies in North Ostrobothnia; Syöte straddles forest and fell scenery typical of southernmost Finnish fells.

Length & route

The trail is about 4.8 km on our map as one hiking line. It is not a loop. Because the feature is still labelled as planning in source data, published lengths and alignments on manager pages may move—confirm on Luontoon.fi before relying on a number for trip planning.

Getting there

The GPX start on our line is near the Luppovesi recreation cluster at roughly 65.6147, 27.6348, between Syötetie services and Iso-Syöte. Luppoveden uimaranta is at Syötetie 28. Use Iso-Syöte and Syöte visitor parking and road access as for other Iso-Syöte day trips; exact bay names follow local Syötetie addressing. Metsähallitus publishes area-wide access guidance on Luontoon.fi, and Visit Syöte summarises how to reach the wider destination by car or public transport.

Good to know

Carry a map or phone navigation: short resort-edge trails can still shift while labelled planning. Respect Metsähallitus rules for the Iso-Syöte hiking area, including any campfire restrictions that apply outside purpose-built fireplaces. Hut and kota use follows the same etiquette as elsewhere on Syöte: leave structures tidy, pack out litter, and check current hut status on Luontoon.fi if you plan to sleep indoors.

History

Regional media reported in early 2023 that Kettutupa was moved roughly half a kilometre to sit on the mountain-bike corridor previously known as Ketun kevennys, reflecting heavier bike traffic in the landscape. Iso-Syöte’s public pages now describe that ring as Harjujen kierros, about 25 km, partly overlapping Syötteen kierros and Pitämävaaran lenkki—separate from this shorter hiking segment.
