Description

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. For Outdoor Active links, printable maps, and how this name sits in the full Pyhäjoki list, use the City of Pyhäjoki hiking hub; the printable hiking route maps pack every named route into one PDF. 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. 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. 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.

Length & route

The trail is about 0.2 km as a loop through Pörkä harbour. It is catalogued as a separate Luontoon.fi segment tied to the Elävisluodon trail family. The City of Pyhäjoki lists the main Elävisluodon reitti at 12 km with its own Outdoor Active entry; printable maps show how the harbour add-on relates to that longer shore route.

Getting there

The add-on sits at Yppäri village harbour next to the wide beach off Pörkäntie 110; the visitor pages give that address for the shore and tower. Most hikers arrive along Elävisluodon reitti from the Yppäri school area, where the main orange-marked loop is described on municipal maps. If you drive, use the harbour and beach parking logic from the same PDF rather than guessing side roads. The lean-to and fire ring at Pörkän sataman laavu ja nuotiopaikka sit right at the harbour cluster you reach on this short loop.

Good to know

Respect other harbour users, swimmers, and birdwatchers near the tower. Campfire use follows usual municipal guidance at the lean-to and nuotiopaikka; bring firewood if none is stocked. No separate trail fee is stated on the municipal pages. For the rocky Elävisluoto shore and surfing culture, see the same visitor information pages.
