A map of 28 Hiking Trails in Pyhäjoki.

Syölätin Trail is a marked day hike along the Pyhäjoki river corridor in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia. For printable maps and the municipal trail index, see City of Pyhäjoki(1). Metsähallitus publishes the same route on Luontoon.fi under the Finnish name Syölätin reitti(2). Pohjolan Rengastie lists the corridor as blue-marked and describes length options that include a Parhalahti–town centre link in addition to the main line(3). Visit Raahe summarises Pyhäjoki’s river landscapes and outdoor character for visitors planning wider trips on the coast(4). The trail is about 9.9 km end to end as one walking line. Municipal listings often round the same named network to about 14.5 km when optional links and variants are counted together(1). Pohjolan Rengastie gives about 10.4 km for the main blue-marked line and mentions an additional about 5.3 km connection toward Parhalahti and the centre, which helps explain why different sources quote different totals for the same name(3). Near the northern river end you pass Hourunkosken kota, a kota beside Hourunkoski rapids—a practical stop for shelter or a campfire when open. The Leiki-liiku-puisto play and activity area on Vanhatie sits steps off the same river-side band for families combining a short town outing with the hike. The Jokikartanon kuntosali ikäihmisille gym on Pajahaantie is very close to the corridor for accessibility-oriented exercise before or after a walk. Toward Parhalahti the route approaches Parhalahden pallokenttä and Parhalahden luistelukenttä on Parhalahdentie—local sports pitches rather than wilderness landmarks, but they fix the eastern end of the corridor in the Parhalahti area. The hiking line shares ground with Pyhäjoen penkkatiet along the river levees and meets Halusen reitti, Tervanevan reitti, Saaren lenkki, Tervon reitti, the long Oulainen–Pyhäjoki cycling link, Pyhäjoen melontareitti, and the Flatland Route ring, so you can shorten, lengthen, or switch to bike or kayak in the same network. A separate signed add-on, Syölätin reitti lisä Selkälippi, branches toward Selkälippi with a laavu and campfire facilities(5). Another add-on connects Tankokari and Kultaranta with bird tower and laavu options on nearby trails. Hourunkosken Koskipuisto on the south bank of the rapids offers paths and a kota setting suited to a wide range of visitors(6). North Ostrobothnia stretches from the Gulf of Bothnia to inland lake country—Pyhäjoki sits where the Pyhäjoki River meets the sea.
The Oravisjärvi loop is about 3.1 km of marked hiking around Lake Oravisjärvi southeast of Pyhäjoki town centre. City of Pyhäjoki lists it among the municipality’s marked hiking routes and offers printable route maps in PDF form(1). Pohjolan Rengastie describes the Oravisjärvi circuit as marked in orange and notes that the wider Halusen route links the town centre with Oravisjärvi(2). For on-phone maps and track details, the same municipal listing points to Outdoor Active(3). The circuit passes Oravisjärven laavu, tulipaikka, käymälä at the lakeshore: a lean-to, campfire place, and dry toilet together for a break by the water. The same stop appears on the longer Pirttikosken reitti network, so day hikers can combine lake views with that river-village corridor if they want more distance. From this loop you can join longer Pyhäjoki trails: Halusen reitti runs between the centre and Oravisjärvi, with Hourunkosken kota along that trail; Nasin reitti and Pirttikosken reitti meet the same shoreline area with different lengths and river scenery. See our pages for Oravisjärven laavu, tulipaikka, käymälä and Hourunkosken kota for facilities. Pyhäjoki lies in North Ostrobothnia. North Ostrobothnia offers varied lake-and-forest hiking between the coast and the interior.
Rajaniemi Trail is a long day hike of about 19.3 km between the Yppäri school area and Kielosaari in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia, on the Gulf of Bothnia coast. The trail is not a loop: it is a point-to-point hike between the two trailheads. For the full trail list, printable maps, and any updates, the City of Pyhäjoki publishes its hiking hub online(1). Pohjolan Rengastie lists the same route as a Pyhäjoki segment in the wider regional outdoor network, with blue markings and about 19.9 km in their summary(2). The printable hiking route maps name landmarks such as the Isovihan memorial, Merimaja shore, Perilahti, Veteraanimaja, Rajaniemi, Ruonan bridge, Vaaranlahti, and Pyhäluoto shore, and they flag sandy beach walking, rocky shoreline, and Etelänkyläntie road traffic as places to treat with extra care(3). The route sits in Pyhäjoki. North Ostrobothnia is the English region name; Finnish pages use Pohjois-Pohjanmaa in parallel so city and region links resolve cleanly. From the Yppäri end, the line passes local services and shore scenery described in the municipal materials. Within the first kilometre, Pörkän sataman laavu ja nuotiopaikka offers a lean-to and campfire by the harbour; Elävisluodon reitti and Viirretjärven reitti share this part of the network if you want shorter loops or links toward Lake Viirretjärvi. Yppärin merimaja/ tanssilava and Merimajan ranta and Merimajan uimaranta sit by the shore for a swim or a pause. Yppärin urheilukenttä lies just inland from the early shore section. About 6.8 km from the mapped start, Veteraanimaja varaustupa is a reservable wilderness-style hut on a short signed add-on, Rajaniemen reitin lisäosa, Veteraanimaja, that branches from the main Rajaniemi Trail. Farther along, Pyhäluodon Laavu and Pyhäluodon ranta cluster on Pyhäluoto with a lean-to and a swimming shore. The finish area is Kielosaari and Kielopuisto local sports park. Kielosaaren lintutorni is a birdwatching tower above the river; Kielopuiston kota is a kota shelter nearby. The City of Pyhäjoki’s Kielosaaren luontopolku page describes a separate 600 m nature loop from the camping area with small bridges and duckboards to the tower and a campfire spot(5). Taipaleita walked that short loop and captures the boardwalks, bridges, and tower views in plain language(4). Kielopuisto, Kielopuiston tenniskenttä, Pyhäjoen urheilukenttä, Pyhäjoen jäähalli, and Pyhäjoen liikuntahalli lie in the same town-side cluster at the end of the long hike. You can stitch in more distance from connecting trails without leaving the municipality’s network: Rautiperän lenkki and Rautiperän lenkille siirtymä meet near Kielopuisto; Saaren lenkki and Tervon reitti add short loops from the sports-park side; Pyhäjoen penkkatiet and the Flatland Route long-distance bike ring touch the same zone for riders linking onward(1). Kielosaaren luontopolku is a separate short nature trail that shares the tower and kota(5).
For trail-specific planning and the national outdoor listing for this segment, start with the Luontoon.fi page for Halusen reitti lisäosa Kupuliskoski pohjoinen(1). The City of Pyhäjoki publishes the wider hiking network around Pirttikoski—including Halusen reitti at 9.9 km and Kupuliskosken reitti at 5 km—with printable overview sheets(2)(3). The trail lies in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia. Halusen Trail extension, Kupuliskoski north is about 0.1 km as a very short loop beside the Pyhäjoki river at Kupuliskoski rapids. It extends the Halusen day-hike network on the north bank so you can step between the north-shore kota and campfire point and the rest of the riverside trail system without backtracking only on longer circuits. Along the line you pass Kupuliskosken pohjoisrannan kota, tulipaikka, käymälä on the north shore and stay within a few dozen metres of Kupuliskosken eteläranta kota, tulipaikka, käymälä on the south shore—the two day-use kota sites that frame this rapid. Pirttikoski village describes Kupuliskoski as one of the largest rapids on this reach, with a kota on the south side of the river at the rapid and shore roads that tie the village into wider cycling and outdoor networks(4). The same riverbank is threaded by Kupuliskosken reitti, Vuotinperän reitti, and Pirttikosken reitti on the hiking side, while Pirttikosken taidereitti, Oulainen-Pyhäjoki pyöräilyreitti, and Flatland Route retkipyöräilyn rengasreitti meet the network for bikes; Pyhäjoen melontareitti passes for paddlers. Pyhäjoki is on the Pohjolan Rengastie touring corridor, which highlights the municipality among North Ostrobothnia’s outdoor destinations(5).
Nasin Trail is a marked day hike in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia, threading the municipality’s river-and-lake outdoor network east of the town centre. City of Pyhäjoki lists Nasin reitti among its named hiking routes, links the same name to Outdoor Active for on-phone maps, and publishes printable PDF maps for the full local trail set(1)(3). Pohjolan Rengastie lists this route by name with orange markings and describes the corridor at about 14 km(2). The trail is about 11.9 km as one continuous path; municipal and regional listings often round the same line to roughly 14 km depending on how the segment is measured(1)(2). The route is point-to-point, not a loop. Along the wider Pyhäjoki system it meets several other marked trails: Halusen reitti links the centre with Oravisjärvi and passes Hourunkosken kota by Hourunkoski rapids; Oravisjärven lenkki circles Oravisjärvi with Oravisjärven laavu, tulipaikka, käymälä on the shore; Liminkajärven reitti runs toward Liminkajärvi and passes Nikulan maja varaustupa, with a short add-on segment Liminkajärven reitti, lisä Nikulan kämppä for the reservable hut area. Pirttikosken reitti is a common junction village in this network—City of Pyhäjoki’s printable map pack shows how Pirttikoski connects Halusen, Oravisjärvi, Nasin, and Helaakosken reitit with road crossings, so you can plan joins or day combinations from the same PDF overview(3). Retkipaikka’s Flatland Route article highlights Hourunkoski and the Pyhäjoki embankment trails as part of the wider river landscape if you want regional trip context beyond this foot line(5). Visit Raahe summarises Pyhäjoki’s river, fields, and coastal outdoor character for visitors planning wider trips in the Raahe region(4). Pyhäjoki lies in North Ostrobothnia. North Ostrobothnia offers varied hiking between the Gulf of Bothnia coast and inland lake country.
Elävisluoto Trail add-on – Pörkä harbour loop is a very short marked circuit at Yppäri village harbour in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia. The trail is about 0.2 km and forms a small loop through the Pörkä harbour area. Luontoon.fi lists this segment as its own trail card alongside the longer Elävisluodon reitti network in the same municipality(1). For Outdoor Active links, printable maps, and how this name sits in the full Pyhäjoki list, use the City of Pyhäjoki hiking hub(2); the printable hiking route maps pack every named route into one PDF(4). Pyhäjoki lies on the Gulf of Bothnia coast. The harbour loop is meant as an add-on to Elävisluodon reitti: you reach the lean-to and campfire at Pörkän sataman laavu ja nuotiopaikka about 0.2 km along the marked line from the loop start. The City of Pyhäjoki describes the wider Yppäri shore and Elävisluoto setting on its visitor information pages: the village harbour beach beside Pörkäntie 110 is over 200 metres wide and suits all ages, and a birdwatching tower was added at the harbour in 2024(3). Elävisluoto itself is a rocky shore area popular with surfers, including in winter when the sea is still open, and the page notes a small fishing harbour there(3). Together with the main Elävisluodon reitti, nearby Rajaniemen reitti, and the Yppärin kuntorata and Yppärin latu lines that also pass the harbour facilities, this is an easy coastal stop for a break, a fire, or a swim on a warm day. North Ostrobothnia is known for long daylight in summer; Finnish pages use Pohjois-Pohjanmaa for the region name in parallel.
This short connector in Pyhäjoki takes you straight to Nikulan maja varaustupa on the shore of Lake Liminkajärvi in Liminkakylä. City of Pyhäjoki names this line Nikulan kämpän reitti in its trail index, links it beside the other numbered routes for mobile maps, and bundles it with the full printable PDF map set for the municipality(1)(2). The Liminkakylä village page on the City of Pyhäjoki site explains how the village sits along road 790 and Liminkaoja, points signposting from the village hall area toward Nikulan kämppä at the lake, and describes Liminkajärvi as a shallow lake where open water has been restored for birds(3). The trail is about 2.1 km as one walking line between the Keskikylä end and the hut. Pohjolan Rengastie lists the same named corridor at about 2.3 km with red markings—easy going on forest estate roads, with Liminkaoja, views of Liminkajärvi, and the reservable hut as the main reasons to walk it(4). At the water you reach Nikulan maja varaustupa; use our place page for booking rules and overnight detail. Where this segment meets the wider network: along Vihannintie you can connect to Nasin reitti toward Pirttikoski and to Liminkajärven reitti toward Parhalahti village, so you can stitch a longer day from the same trailhead area(1)(4). Pyhäjoki lies in North Ostrobothnia; the Liminkaoja stream valley and lake fringe here are typical northern Ostrobothnian forest-and-water walking country.
Kielosaari nature trail is a short river-islet loop of about 0.4 km beside Pyhäjoki town centre in North Ostrobothnia, threading small islands in the Pyhäjoki river channel with bridges and duckboards. For how the municipality introduces the path, the official trail card on the City of Pyhäjoki website is the best starting point(1). Visit Finland’s Pyhäjoki product entry flags year-round walking and bird interest, and notes that spring flooding on the Pyhäjoki can sometimes block access—worth checking before a May visit(3). From the camping side you cross to Kielosaari and follow a signposted nature-trail marker; the line is partly a there-and-back lead-in and partly a ring walked clockwise in the layout Taipaleita photographed in 2022(2). Metal footbridges hop from islet to islet, duckboards keep feet dry through the dampest spots, and benches and water-worn rock ledges invite you to pause over the rapids and pools(1)(2). About a third of a kilometre into our line you reach Kielosaaren lintutorni, a small tower with views upriver to the north, with a campfire spot and wood shelter alongside—good for a snack stop and scanning the river for birds(1)(2). The loop sits next to Kielopuisto recreation area: Kielopuiston kota, Kielopuisto, Kielopuiston tenniskenttä, Pyhäjoen jäähalli, Pyhäjoen urheilukenttä, and Pyhäjoen liikuntahalli lie within a short walk of the shore for anyone combining a nature stroll with local sports facilities. If you want a much longer hike on the same river mouth system, Rajaniemen reitti continues the coastal and river-bank network for many kilometres past shared points such as Kielopuisto; Pyhäjoen penkkatiet offers a separate signed cycling tour along the embankment roads when you prefer wheels.
Elävisluodon Trail is a day hiking loop of about 9.9 km around the Elävisluoto shoreline and Yppäri village area in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia, on the Gulf of Bothnia coast. For printable maps, the full trail list, and any updates, the City of Pyhäjoki publishes its hiking hub online(1). The same route is highlighted on Pohjolan Rengastie as a Pyhäjoki outdoor segment in the wider regional ring route(2). The printable hiking route maps give step-by-step notes for this loop, including where the optional Ojansuunlahti spur adds distance and where the Kokkolantie road crossing needs extra care(3). The loop is marked in orange(2)(3). Official materials describe the main circuit at about 10.3 km plus an optional Ojansuunlahti round of about 1.7 km(3); on our map the continuous loop is about 9.9 km. The municipality classifies the terrain as mostly easy overall, while calling the optional Ojansuunlahti section wet and more demanding on the marked ground(3). From the Yppäri school area the route ties together shoreline, small harbours, and local services. Near the start, Pylhyn laavu, tulipaikka, käymälä and Pylhyn uimapaikka sit close together with Lehtikarin uimaranta a short detour from the same cluster—good for a swim, a fire, or a break. Further along, Pörkän sataman laavu ja nuotiopaikka offers another shelter and campfire spot by the water. Yppärin merimaja/ tanssilava marks the village dance pavilion and sea pavilion setting beside the shore; Yppärin urheilukenttä and the Yppärin koulun liikuntasali, Yppärin koulun luistelukenttä, and Yppärin koulun pallokenttä sit by the school block where the loop is described as starting and finishing(2)(3). You can extend or vary the day using trails that share the same network. Elävisluodon lisäreitti, Pylhy - Lehtikarinranta is a short add-on between Pylhy and Lehtikarinranta beaches. Elavisluodon reitti, lisäreitti Pörkän hamina is a very short branch at Pörkän harbour. In winter, Yppärin latu and Yppärin kuntorata overlap nearby for skiing and running. Longer hiking links include Rajaniemen reitti toward Kielosaari and central Pyhäjoki, and Viirretjärven reitti toward Lake Viirretjärvi and Rautiperä—use the PDF map to see how segments meet(3). Pyhäjoki is a coastal municipality. North Ostrobothnia frames the wider region name in English; Finnish pages use Pohjois-Pohjanmaa in parallel sentences so city and region links resolve cleanly.
For the municipal trail list, GPX-style maps on Outdoor Active, and printable overview sheets, start with the City of Pyhäjoki hiking trails page(1). The same corridor sits in the Pohjolan Rengastie regional network, which lists Kupuliskosken reitti as an orange-marked day section in Pirttikoski(4). The rapids walk lies in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia. Kupuliskoski Rapids Trail is about 5.1 km as a point-to-point walk beside Pyhäjoki: it branches from Rautiperän lenkki and finishes at the Kupuliskoski rapids on the south bank, where Pyhäjoki drops through one of the largest rapids pairs in the Pirttikoski village reach(3). At the water, you can pause at Kupuliskosken pohjoisrannan kota, tulipaikka, käymälä and Kupuliskosken eteläranta kota, tulipaikka, käymälä—north- and south-bank kota with fireplaces and dry toilets—before looping back on other marked routes or returning along Rautiperän lenkki toward Rautiperän hiihtomaja and the Pirttikoski shore roads. Ristivuoren reitti meets the line partway, and Pirttikosken yhdysreitti with Pirttikosken taidereitti, Pyhäjoki give cyclists marked links through the same rapids pocket; Halusen reitti lisäosa Kupuliskoski pohjoinen is a very short orange add-on at the kota cluster, and Oulainen-Pyhäjoki pyöräilyreitti passes the fords on longer bike tours. The printable Pyhäjoki route pack calls out wet stretches beside Pitkännevanoja and Kalliokoskenoja and busy traffic on Oulaistentie (kt 787)—worth reading before you go(2).
Syölätin reitti add-on: Selkälippi is a short point-to-point hiking segment in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia. It branches from the Syölätin reitti shore network toward Selkälipin laavu, tulipaikka ja käymälä at the coast. The trail is about 2.1 km. For Outdoor Active links, the full municipal trail list, and the latest local notes, start with the City of Pyhäjoki hiking hub(1). The same add-on appears on Luontoon.fi under the Finnish name Syölätin reitti lisä Selkälippi(2). Pohjolan Rengastie describes the main Syölätin reitti as about 10.4 km plus a 5.3 km link toward Parhalahti town centre, with blue markings, which helps you situate this add-on in the same marked coastal network(3). Pyhäjoki lies in North Ostrobothnia; Finnish pages use Pohjois-Pohjanmaa in parallel for the region name. The line runs through forest toward the Selkälippi shore. About 2.1 km from the junction with the main spine you reach Selkälipin laavu, tulipaikka ja käymälä: a lean-to, campfire spot, and dry toilet a few metres off the tread. Use the facilities as one rest area rather than naming the toilet on its own. If you combine with Syölätin reitti, Hourunkosken kota sits at the start of that main route for a longer day, and Parhalahden pallokenttä marks the far end of the same main line in municipal data(1). The gravel Flatland Route cycling loop meets the hiking network at the same junction family, so cyclists and hikers may cross paths near the start(1). Syölärin reitti, lisä Tankokari - Kultaranta and Kultarannan lisäreitti Tankokarin reitiltä share the Selkälipin laavu area with this add-on, so you can stitch Tankokari, Kultaranta, and Selkälippi into one coastal outing(1)(2). The printable hiking route maps pack every Pyhäjoki trail name into one PDF(4).
For the dedicated trail card and map browsing, start from Luontoon.fi’s Pirttikosken reitti page(1). For what Pirttikoski village is like along Pyhäjoki—rapids, swimming spots, and the lean-tos by the river and lakes—City of Pyhäjoki’s Pirttikoski page is the clearest official overview(2). The Pirttikoski Trail is about 4.6 km as a point-to-point hiking line in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia. It threads the Pirttikoski village countryside above the Pyhäjoki rapids belt, not a loop. The mapped start sits near Pirttikoskentie, where Pirttikoski’s village centre clusters school and association sports facilities—Pirttikosken kylätalon liikuntasali and Pirttikosken kuntosali are practical landmarks if you arrive on foot from parking along the village road. About 1 km into the route from that start, the line reaches Kupuliskoski, one of the larger rapids on this river reach. Both banks have kota-style shelters with campfire places and dry toilets: Kupuliskosken eteläranta kota, tulipaikka, käymälä and Kupuliskosken pohjoisrannan kota, tulipaikka, käymälä make a natural break before you continue toward the lake. The trail end lies at Oravisjärven laavu, tulipaikka, käymälä on the shore of Oravisjärvi. The same official village page notes Oravisjärvi as a fish-rearing and birdwatching lake beside Vaihojantie, with the lean-to and fire place on the shore(2)—a calmer, more open finish after the wooded river banks. On the wider outdoor network, Pyhäjoen penkkatiet follow the river embankments: Visit Raahe describes how the north-side embankment reaches Pirttikoski and how a roughly 19 km Pirttikoski loop uses Kuusiniemi bridge and both embankments—useful context if you combine short hiking with easy cycling along the river(3). On our map, Kuusiniemen sillan yhdysreitti Pirttikoski links the village beach and connector paths near the bridge, while Kupuliskosken reitti and Pirttikosken yhdysreitti overlap the same kota banks. Oravisjärven lenkki shares the Oravisjärvi lean-to, and longer cycling lines such as Pyhäjoen penkkatiet, Oulainen-Pyhäjoki pyöräilyreitti, and Pirttikosken taidereitti touch the same village facilities. Pirttikosken kylä association notes that Pyhäjoki’s wider hiking and biking route network was expanded around 2023 and that Pirttikoski kylätalo offers basic services for touring cyclists—water, tools, and optional Matkaparkki.com stops—separate from the foot trail but handy if you approach the area by bike(4).
Parhalahti loop (Parhalahden lenkki) is about 13.2 km of easy walking and cycling in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia. The loop lies in Pyhäjoki municipality. The trail is a loop on village roads and the wider forest-road network around Parhalahti. The City of Pyhäjoki lists it as Parhalahden reitti at 13.2 km and links printable PDF maps for all municipal hiking routes from the same retkeily page(1). The Outdoor Active route sheet for Parhalahden reitti(2), published under Pyhäjoen kunta, names the start at the former Parhalahti school (now a daycare), with links onward to Syölätin reitti, Tankokarin reitti, and Kultaranta beach, and junctions toward Tervanevan reitti and Liminkajärven reitti. Pohjolan Rengastie also highlights the inner Parhalahden lenkki as about 6 km with red markings(3). Right at the trailhead area on Parhalahdentie 68 you pass Parhalahden luistelukenttä and Parhalahden pallokenttä—the local ice rink and school ball field—before the route heads into the village road and forest-road circuit. Along the way the municipality points to sights such as Teerelän rauhoitettu petäjä (a protected pine), Parhalahden kylätie, and Huttukankaan laavu(2). Take care on narrow Parhalahdentie where local car traffic runs(2). This loop sits in the middle of Pyhäjoki’s longer hiking network. Syölätin reitti shares the Parhalahti end and passes Hourunkosken kota at Hourunkosken Koskipuisto, where the City of Pyhäjoki describes an accessible riverside kota and campfire by the rapids(4). Tervanevan reitti meets Parhalahden reitti at Teereläntie in the regional description(3). Liminkajärven reitti adds another lakeside option with reservable shelter places such as Nikulan maja varaustupa on that line. The Flatland Route retkipyöräilyn rengasreitti runs through the same municipality for riders planning a much longer gravel tour across North Ostrobothnia—Visit Pyhäjoki summarizes the 320 km ring in passing, separate from this walking loop.
Kultaranta add-on from Tankokari route is a short point-to-point hiking segment in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia, continuing the Tankokari shore route toward the Kultaranta recreation shore at the Gulf of Bothnia. The trail is about 2.6 km. For Outdoor Active links, the full municipal trail index, and printable maps, see the City of Pyhäjoki hiking hub(1). The wider Syölätin reitti family is documented on Luontoon.fi as the main Pyhäjoki hiking spine in the same network(2). Pohjolan Rengastie lists Kultarannan reitti at 2.7 km and Tankokarin reitti at 3.9 km with red markings on the regional outdoor listing, which helps situate this add-on between those named routes(3). Pyhäjoki lies in North Ostrobothnia; Finnish pages use Pohjois-Pohjanmaa in parallel for the region name. From the junction area near Selkälipin laavu, tulipaikka ja käymälä you enter the forested link toward Kultaranta. About 2.6 km from the start, the route reaches the Kultaranta shore cluster: Kultaranta käymälä, Kultarannan kota, and Kultarannan uimaranta on Puustellintie 506 — a lean-to and kota for breaks and a swimming beach in summer. Dry toilets serve the area; use them as part of the shore facilities rather than as separate named stops. Together with Syölärin reitti, lisä Tankokari - Kultaranta and Tankokarin lintutorni on the parallel add-on, this makes an easy half-day on the coast(1)(2). If you want a longer day, combine with Syölätin reitti lisä Selkälippi or the main Syölätin reitti loop from the same hub(1)(2). The printable hiking route maps pack every Pyhäjoki trail name into one PDF(4).
Saari loop is an easy, family-friendly walking loop of about 3.9 km around Kielosaari and the Hourunkoski–Etelä-Houru shore in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia, where the Pyhäjoki river splits toward the Gulf of Bothnia. The City of Pyhäjoki lists the same route as “Saaren reitti” in its trail index and links printable maps and Outdoor Active views from its outdoor recreation pages(1). Luontoon.fi publishes the route under the name Saaren lenkki for national outdoor browsing(2). Pohjolan Rengastie includes it in the regional Bothnian coast network with white markings noted in their route tables(4). Pyhäjoki sits on the coast; North Ostrobothnia is the English region name, with Pohjois-Pohjanmaa used on Finnish pages so city and region links stay clear. The loop starts and finishes at the Kielosaari side of town beside Kielopuisto local sports park. Pyhäjoen urheilukenttä, Kielopuiston tenniskenttä, Pyhäjoen jäähalli, and Pyhäjoen liikuntahalli sit a short walk from the path—handy if you combine a walk with other errands. Very near the start, Kielosaaren lintutorni rises above the river for birdwatching; the separate Kielosaaren luontopolku nature trail shares the tower and a campfire spot, and Taipaleita describes the short bridges and boardwalk loop from the camping side in a dedicated post(5). About 1.6 km into the loop you pass Hourunkosken kota, a kota shelter by the rapids. The Hourunkosken Koskipuisto page on the City of Pyhäjoki website explains riverside paths, an accessible tread on the south bank of the north branch, and a kota and campfire on the far bank reached from Koskikuja—worth combining if you want more time at the water(6). Farther along, Etelä-Hourun rantautumispaikka is a small boat landing on Saaren penkkatie if you arrive from the river. Ollinmäen kuntosali and Jokikartanon kuntosali ikäihmisille sit inland where the route brushes residential streets. The walk returns to Kielopuisto, Kielopuiston kota, and Kielopuisto itself at the end of the circuit. You can extend the day using trails that meet the same zone without leaving town: Rajaniemen reitti and Pyhäjoen penkkatiet share Kielopuisto links; Rautiperän lenkille siirtymä and Rautiperän lenkki add forest loops toward Rautiperä; Tervon reitti and Halusen reitti branch toward river and mire scenery; Syölätin reitti and Tervanevan reitti head toward Parhalampi; the Oulainen–Pyhäjoki bike route and the long Flatland Route ring pass nearby for cyclists; Pyhäjoen melontareitti overlaps the shore if you paddle instead of walk(1). The printable hiking route maps spell out road names and the Highway 8 crossing called out below(3).
Viirretjärven lisäreitti—the Viirretjärvi additional route—is about 2.4 km as one short point-to-point hiking segment beside Lake Viirretjärvi in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia. It is not a loop. The City of Pyhäjoki publishes the municipality’s full hiking trail list—including the main Viirretjärven reitti at 14.5 km—with printable PDF maps and links to detailed route views, and that hub is the best place to confirm names, combinations, and any updates(1). This short line sits in the same lake and forest setting as the wider Viirretjärven network. Pohjolan Rengastie describes the main Viirretjärven reitti as about 14.5 km with green trail markings(2). Your 2.4 km segment is a compact add-on along the shoreline compared with that full circuit; treat it as a focused lakeside walk rather than the entire Viirretjärven reitti. From this route you connect logically to other mapped trails in our database. Viirretjärven reitti continues the lake-focused hiking network toward the Yppäri village area. Rautiperän lenkki ties into Rautiperän outdoor area, where the Rautiperä outdoor area page describes marked summer trails on former ski-track bases, a ski hut with a maintenance building, Rautiperän grillikota, Rautiperän laavu with firewood storage, and dog walking on leash in summer(3). Those facilities sit on the longer Rautiperän circuit rather than on every short spur; plan them if you extend onto Rautiperän lenkki. Pyhäjoki lies on the coast of the Gulf of Bothnia. The names Pyhäjoki and North Ostrobothnia appear here so city and region pages link cleanly.
This route is a short add-on to the Syölätin reitti hiking network in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia, running between the Tankokari and Kultaranta shore areas on the Gulf of Bothnia coast. For the full municipal trail list, Outdoor Active links, and printable maps, the City of Pyhäjoki keeps the hiking hub updated online(1). The parent Syölätin reitti is also described on Luontoon.fi as a Pyhäjoki hiking route in the same network(2). The municipality groups the Kultaranta and Tankokari named routes at a combined 6.2 km with separate Outdoor Active entries for each name; this page follows the Tankokari–Kultaranta add-on segment at about 3.7 km(1). The trail is in Pyhäjoki. North Ostrobothnia is the English region name; Finnish pages use Pohjois-Pohjanmaa in parallel. About 2.65 km from the start you pass Selkälipin laavu, tulipaikka ja käymälä, a lean-to with a campfire place and dry toilet in the forested stretch between shore sections. At the Tankokari end, Tankokarin lintutorni sits in Parhalahden kalasatama (Parhalahti fishing harbour), about 5 km north of the town centre by road; the City of Pyhäjoki’s birdwatching towers page describes it as one of North Ostrobothnia’s best spring migration watchpoints, with peak counts of geese, swans, waders, and raptors from mid-April to late May, and notes the gravel road in to the harbour(3). Tankokarin laavu ja tulipaikka is a second stop at the shore with a lean-to and campfire. Together these stops make a compact birdwatching and break day out from the main Syölätin reitti loop(2). If you want a longer day, Syölätin reitti is published at 14.5 km on the same municipal list and links from the hiking hub(1). The printable hiking route maps pack every Pyhäjoki trail name into one PDF for orientation(4).
This segment is a short marked connection in the Elävisluoto day-hiking network south of Yppäri in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia. It links Pylhy and Lehtikarinranta along the bay shore so you can walk between the beaches, the lean-to, and swimming spots in one outing. The City of Pyhäjoki lists the wider Elävisluodon network and links to maps and digital views from its hiking hub(1). Pohjolan Rengastie describes the main Elävisluodon loop with an extra Ojansuunlahti round of about 1.7 km on orange markings starting from Yppärin koulu(2); this supplement matches that bay-side add-on in spirit and sits with the same orange-marked family of paths(2)(3). The printable hiking route maps spell out how the optional Ojansuunlahti section behaves on the ground, including wetter tread in the marked bay fringe(3). On our map the route is about 1.8 km point to point. Very near the start you pass Pylhyn laavu, tulipaikka, käymälä—firewood, a campfire place, and dry toilets—then Pylhyn uimapaikka on Elävisluodontie. About half a kilometre along the line you reach Lehtikarin uimaranta on Pölläntie, a second shallow beach pocket. Together these stops make an easy family outing: swim at one beach, picnic at the laavu, and stroll to the other beach without driving between them. The municipality’s swimming beaches page notes that Pylhy and Pöllä sit just south of the rocky Elävisluoto surf area and describe the Pylhy shore as a shallow sandy beach suited to children(4). That matches how the two swimming stops feel along this walk. Tie the outing into the longer Elävisluodon Trail loop when you want a full day: the main circuit visits harbours, school fields, and more shoreline while reusing the same orange marking system(2)(3). Elävisluodon Trail is the wider loop name in English materials; the Finnish page title uses Elävisluodon reitti for the same hike. Pyhäjoki is the home municipality; Pohjois-Pohjanmaa is the Finnish region name alongside North Ostrobothnia in English.
The Tervaneva Trail is a green-marked day hike in Pyhäjoki through the Tervaneva mire and river corridor toward Hourunkoski. City of Pyhäjoki lists Tervanevan reitti among its named hiking routes, links the same name to Outdoor Active, and publishes printable PDF maps for the whole network(1). Luontoon.fi carries the route entry for planning and map browsing(2). Pohjolan Rengastie describes the same name at about 5.2 km with green markings between Pyhäjoki centre and the junction with Parhalahden reitti at Teereläntie(3). The trail is about 5.1 km as one continuous walk. Some municipal tables round the same corridor to about 7 km when the full network segment is counted differently(1). After forest and mire walking along the Pyhäjoki valley, the route reaches Hourunkosken kota near the Hourunkoski rapids—about 5 km from the start—a kota and natural stopping point before you explore the Koskipuisto river park. Hourunkosken Koskipuisto on the south bank of the northern branch of the Pyhäjoki has accessible paths, a kota, and a campfire place; the opposite bank is reached from Koskikuja(4). Hannele78's Koskipuisto post captures the riverside kota and campfire setting in a short visit write-up(5). The Tervaneva Trail meets Parhalahden lenkki, Pyhäjoen penkkatiet, the Oulainen–Pyhäjoki cycling route, Halusen reitti, the Flatland Route ring, Saaren lenkki, Syölätin reitti, and Pyhäjoen melontareitti at Hourunkosken kota, so you can switch to cycling, a longer hiking loop, or kayaking in the same river system. Pyhäjoki lies in North Ostrobothnia. North Ostrobothnia links the Bothnian Bay coast with inland lake and river hiking.
The Halusen Trail is a marked day hike in Pyhäjoki between the town centre and Lake Oravisjärvi. City of Pyhäjoki lists Halusen reitti in its index of local hiking routes, links to Outdoor Active for the same name, and publishes printable PDF maps for all trails(1). Metsähallitus also lists the route on Luontoon.fi under the Halusen reitti name(2). Pohjolan Rengastie describes the same connection as yellow-marked endpoints at Pyhäjoki centre and Oravisjärvi(3). The trail is about 8.3 km end to end. Municipal and regional listings often round the same corridor to about 9.9 km depending on how the segment is measured(1)(3). Early on, the route passes Hourunkosken kota: a kota by Hourunkoski rapids within a few hundred metres of the start, useful for a fire or shelter break. The play and activity area Leiki-liiku-puisto sits very near the northern end of the corridor on Vanhatie for families combining a short town walk with the trail. Hourunkosken Koskipuisto beside the northern branch of the Pyhäjoki has accessible paths on the south bank of the rapids, a kota, and a campfire place; paths are designed so people with reduced mobility can enjoy the bank(5). Retkipaikka’s Flatland Route road-trip article highlights Hourunkoski and the Pyhäjoki embankment trails as part of the wider river landscape in this area(4). The hiking trail shares ground with the long Pyhäjoen penkkatiet cycling corridor along the river levees, and meets Syölätin reitti, Saaren lenkki, Tervanevan reitti, Rautiperän lenkki, Nasin reitti, Oravisjärven lenkki, Pyhäjoen melontareitti, the Oulainen–Pyhäjoki cycling link, and the Flatland Route ring—so you can shorten, lengthen, or switch to bike or kayak in the same river-and-lake network. Visit Raahe summarises Pyhäjoki’s river, fields, and coastal outdoor character for visitors planning wider trips in the Raahe region(6). Pyhäjoki lies in North Ostrobothnia. North Ostrobothnia offers varied hiking between the Gulf of Bothnia coast and inland lake country.
For the national outdoor listing and trail-specific page for this route, use Luontoon.fi(1). The City of Pyhäjoki maintains the wider marked hiking network—including printable overview maps—and links digital route sheets for each trail(2)(3). Viirretjärvi Trail is about 13.3 km as one point-to-point day hike in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia. Pyhäjoki lies on the Bothnian coast; the trail threads countryside between lake shore, village roads, and forest paths. Official descriptions give green paint markings and name the main endpoints as the junction with Rautiperän reitti at Viirreoja, Puskakorven tie, and Yppärin koulu(3). Along the way you pass Viirretjärvi village, the Viirretjärvi school path, Tekevän mylly, and Yppäri village—typical North Ostrobothnian rural scenery rather than remote wilderness(3). Terrain is mostly easy walking on roads and paths, but the Viirretjärvi school path and field sections can be soft or wet after rain, and there are wide ditch crossings with plank bridges sized for walking (mountain bikers use the route too, with care on those stretches)(3). At the mapped start, the line meets Rautiperän lenkki at Viirreoja; a short marked branch, Viirretjärven lisäreitti, joins within the first couple of kilometres. Closer to Yppäri, Rajaniemen reitti and Elävisluodon reitti tie into the same shore and school area, and Yppärin latu and Yppärin kuntorata run nearby for winter skiing and running. The route is highlighted among Pyhäjoki outings on the Pohjolan Rengastie touring corridor(4). Near the Yppäri end, the path passes Yppärin koulun liikuntasali, Yppärin koulun luistelukenttä, and Yppärin koulun pallokenttä beside Vanhamaantie—useful orientation if you finish at the school.
Tervo Trail (Tervon reitti) is a roughly 5 km point-to-point hiking route in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia, linking the Tervo riverbank area with Kielopuisto and the town’s sports cluster beside the Pyhäjoki River. The City of Pyhäjoki currently lists this route as not in use for the time being(1). Treat the municipality’s hiking trails listing as the place to confirm whether the route has reopened before you plan a visit. The same trail also appears on Luontoon.fi for map browsing and general outdoor information(2). When the route is open, it works as a riverside connector: within about the first hundred metres from the start you pass Tervon laavu ja tulipaikka, a lean-to and campfire spot for a break. About 3 km along, Kielosaaren lintutorni sits near the junction with longer trails such as Rajaniemen reitti and Pyhäjoen penkkatiet, and a short detour leads to Kielosaaren luontopolku, a separate 600 m nature loop on the camping islands. Toward the northern end, Kielopuisto at Ruukintie 42 gathers Kielopuiston kota, tennis, and the ice hall and sports field—useful landmarks if you approach the river from the town side. Taipaleita’s on-the-ground notes from the nearby Kielosaaren luontopolku describe small bridges between islands, boardwalks toward the bird tower, and a campfire shelter beside the tower—helpful context for what the Kielosaari shoreline feels like where Tervon reitti meets the same river landscape(3). Pyhäjoki’s destination text for Kielosaaren luontopolku adds that the short island trail introduces varied river nature and that spring flooding can occasionally affect access—worth keeping in mind for any linked walks(4). North Ostrobothnia’s Bothnian Bay coast is an important migration flyway; the bird tower looks north along the river. For longer days, the same trail network connects to Rajaniemen reitti, Saaren lenkki, Rautiperän lenkille siirtymä, and other Pyhäjoki routes that share stops at Kielosaari and Kielopuisto. Pyhäjoki lies on the coast northwest of Oulu.
The Rautiperä loop connector is a short point-to-point hiking link in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia. The trail is about 0.7 km. It joins the longer Rautiperän lenkki hiking route to the Kielopuisto and Kielosaari sports and riverfront area near Ruukintie, so you can move between the Rautiperä forest network and the town’s riverside facilities without walking on roads. The City of Pyhäjoki lists Rautiperän reitti (about 18.3 km in the municipal hiking list) and publishes printable route maps on its retkeily page(1). The Rautiperä outdoor area page(2) at Hiihtomajantie 94 explains how, in summer, ski trail bases serve as outdoor paths, with marked and lit loop options (1 km, 2.5 km, 4 km, 5 km), a ski hut, kota, laavu, grill kota, and summer dog rules when dogs are leashed. That context helps you plan onward loops from the same end of town as this connector. Along this segment you approach Kielopuisto (Ruukintie 42) and the Kielopuiston kota, Kielopuiston tenniskenttä, and the sports cluster around Pyhäjoen urheilukenttä, Pyhäjoen jäähalli, and Pyhäjoen liikuntahalli—handy if you are combining a walk with a game, ice time, or a break at the kota. Near Kielosaari, Kielosaaren lintutorni is a short detour from the Kielosaari nature trail network. The Kielosaari trail page on the City of Pyhäjoki website(3) describes the 600 m Kielosaaren luontopolku from the campsite with small bridges, duckboards, a birdwatching tower, and a campfire place. Visit Pyhäjoki notes the long Flatland Route mountain-bike ring through North Ostrobothnia, including Pyhäjoki, for riders stitching a wider tour(4). Taipaleita’s walk report on the same nature trail adds a practical time estimate of about half an hour for the 600 m loop and highlights the easy terrain and river scenery(5). From this junction you can also connect to Rautiperän lenkki (the main Rautiperä loop), Saaren lenkki, Rajaniemen reitti, Tervon reitti, Pyhäjoen penkkatiet, the Flatland Route retkipyöräilyn rengasreitti, Pyhäjoen melontareitti, and Kielosaaren luontopolku for a longer day in Pyhäjoki.
Rajaniemi Trail extension to Veteraanimaja is a short spur of about 0.4 km in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia. It branches from the longer blue-marked Rajaniemi Trail and ends at Veteraanimaja varaustupa, a reservable wilderness hut by the shore in the Yppäri village area. The trail sits on the Gulf of Bothnia coast in Pyhäjoki; Pohjois-Pohjanmaa is the Finnish region name alongside North Ostrobothnia in English. Metsähallitus lists this exact spur on Luontoon.fi(1). The City of Pyhäjoki publishes the parent Rajaniemen reitti in its hiking network and links to maps from the municipal outdoor hub(2). The printable hiking route maps describe the wider Rajaniemi network: blue markings, easy overall difficulty with road sections on the long loop, and landmarks such as Merimajan ranta and Rajaniemi—plus cautions for sandy shore, rocky shoreline, and Etelänkyläntie traffic when you combine segments(4). For Veteraanimaja itself, the City of Pyhäjoki Yppäri page gives practical detail: the hut stands at Harmintie 227, bookings go through the municipal office, and the site has a wood-fired sauna, duckboards to a sandy swimming beach, and a bird tower with wide views over the sea and shore(3). Use this spur when you want a minimal add-on from Rajaniemi Trail to reach the reservable hut. The main Rajaniemi Trail runs about 19 km between the Yppäri school area and Kielosaari; along it you pass lean-tos, beaches, and at the Kielosaari end Kielosaaren lintutorni and Kielopuiston kota. A parallel short spur on Luontoon.fi leads to Partiokämppä scout cabin if you are planning another nearby destination.
For Pyhäjoki’s full hiking and outdoor route list and printable overview sheets, start with the City of Pyhäjoki hiking trails page(1). The printable route pack highlights Pirttikoski—including Kuusiniemi bridge—as a place where you move between trails on ordinary roads, and it reminds walkers and cyclists to watch for fast traffic on Oulaistentie (kt 787)(2). The trail lies in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia. Kuusiniemi Bridge connector (Pirttikoski) is about 0.9 km as a short point-to-point link from the Kuusiniemi bridge area into Pirttikoski village beside Pyhäjoki. Near the bridge end you pass Pirttikoski’s village-centre sports cluster—Pirttikosken kuntosali, Pirttikosken kylän pallokenttä, Pirttikosken kylätalon liikuntasali, and Pirttikosken koulun luistelukenttä—before the line reaches Pirttikosken uimaranta on Kalliomäentie, a simple river beach roughly mid-route. The municipality describes a kyläyhdistyksen-maintained swimming spot by Kuusiniemi bridge and twelve rapids in the village reach, with Helaakoski and Kupuliskoski among the largest(3). The same bridge pocket sits on several longer marked routes: Pirttikosken taidereitti, Pyhäjoki, Oulainen-Pyhäjoki pyöräilyreitti, and Flatland Route retkipyöräilyn rengasreitti all meet the network here, so this connector is a practical hop between riverbank walking and those wider bike circuits. Pirttikoski village association welcomes touring cyclists at the kylätalo and notes swimming by the bridge on the north side of Kuusiniemi bridge—helpful if you combine a village stop with this short link(4).
Liminkajärvi Trail is a marked point-to-point hike in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia, running through Liminkakylä toward Lake Liminkajärvi in the municipality’s eastern lake country. City of Pyhäjoki lists Liminkajärven reitti among its named hiking routes, links the same name to Outdoor Active for on-phone maps, and publishes printable PDF maps for the full local trail set(1)(3). Pohjolan Rengastie names this route with yellow markings and describes it at about 13 km(2). The trail is about 11.8 km as one continuous path; municipal and regional listings often round the same line to roughly 13 km depending on how the segment is measured(1)(2). About 11 km from the start you reach Nikulan maja varaustupa, a reservable wilderness-style hut near the lake—use our page for booking detail. The Liminkakylä village page on the City of Pyhäjoki site notes signposted access from the village hall area toward Nikulan kämppä on the shore, and describes Liminkajärvi as a shallow lake where open water has been restored for bird habitat(4). The short companion route Liminkajärven reitti, lisä Nikulan kämppä focuses on the hut segment if you want a minimal add-on walk to the same place. Where this route meets the wider network: Nasin reitti joins near the same end of the line, so you can plan combinations between the Liminkajärvi shore and Nasin’s river-and-lake corridor. Parhalahden lenkki is a separate marked loop in Pyhäjoki that regional materials connect with Liminkajärvi-area walking; Luontoon.fi hosts the Parhalahden lenkki trail page for that loop(5). At the Liminka end of the line, the long Flatland Route touring bike ring uses the same broad corridor—Visit Liminka describes that 320 km ring for cyclists(6), while this page is the foot trail toward the lake. Pyhäjoki lies in North Ostrobothnia. North Ostrobothnia links coast, river embankments, and inland lakes for day hiking.
Rajaniemi Trail extension to Partiokämppä is a short spur of about 1 km in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia. It is a point-to-point branch off the longer blue-marked Rajaniemi Trail and ends at Partiokämppä, a scout cabin used by local scout groups for meetings and events. The trail is in Pyhäjoki on the Gulf of Bothnia coast; Pohjois-Pohjanmaa is the Finnish region name alongside North Ostrobothnia in English. Metsähallitus publishes this exact spur on Luontoon.fi(1). The City of Pyhäjoki lists the parent Rajaniemen reitti in its outdoor network and links to maps and Outdoor Active views from the municipal hiking hub(2). The printable hiking route maps describe the wider Rajaniemi network: blue markings, easy overall difficulty with some road walking on the long route, and landmarks such as Merimajan ranta, Veteraanimaja, and Rajaniemi along the main line—plus cautions for sandy beach tread, rocky shoreline, and Etelänkyläntie traffic if you combine segments(3). Use this spur when you want a small add-on from Rajaniemi Trail rather than the full day hike. The main Rajaniemi Trail runs about 19 km between the Yppäri school area and Kielosaari; along it you pass reservable Veteraanimaja varaustupa on Rajaniemen reitin lisäosa, Veteraanimaja, plus lean-tos, beaches, and at the Kielosaari end Kielosaaren lintutorni and Kielopuiston kota. This Partiokämppä branch is another short marked connection aimed at the scout cabin destination.
For the national trail listing and this route’s own page, use Luontoon.fi(1). The loop lies in Pyhäjoki, North Ostrobothnia, on the Bothnian coast. Pyhäjoki is a compact coastal municipality; Rautiperä is its main outdoor hub in Etelänkylä. The City of Pyhäjoki publishes day-to-day details about the ski lodge, lighting on the short circuits, the disc golf course, and seasonal rules for dogs and the rifle range(2). The trail is about 16.9 km as one full circuit through forest roads and paths, with red markings and easy going under normal conditions(3). Some printable overview materials describe the same itinerary at roughly 18 km depending on how the network is measured(3). Official route notes highlight Pyhäjoki’s historic Isosilta bridge (from 1837), the Rautiperä lodge area, wind turbines at Puskakorpi, and the river flood embankment along Pyhäjoki(3). Take extra care at busy road crossings, especially Oulaistentie (road 787) and Etelänkyläntie(3). The shape links the wider Pyhäjoki trail network: near the early kilometres you can join Viirretjärven lisäreitti and Viirretjärven reitti, branch onto Kupuliskosken reitti toward the rapids kota sites, use Pirttikosken yhdysreitti and Pyhäjoen penkkatiet as cycling connections, or continue toward Halusen reitti along the river. Closer to Kielopuisto you meet Saaren lenkki, Rautiperän lenkille siirtymä, Kielosaaren luontopolku, and Tervon reitti around the sports island and bird tower. At about 13.6 km you pass Kielopuiston kota, then follow the connector into the Rautiperä service cluster: Rautiperän laavu, Rautiperän uimapaikka, Rautiperän avantouintipaikka, Rautiperän grillikota, Rautiperän hiihtomaja, Pyhäjoen ampumahiihtoalue, Rautiperän Frisbeegolf, and Hiihtomajan ampumarata—together a full-service shore and lodge area for breaks, swimming in season, winter swimming where operated, disc golf, and biathlon training infrastructure. Rautiperän kuntorata and Rautiperän valaistu latu overlap the same hub for running and skiing on shorter marked loops.
