Description

For the dedicated trail card and map browsing, start from Luontoon.fi’s Pirttikosken reitti page. 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. 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 —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. 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.

Length & route

The summer hiking line is about 4.6 km end to end as one continuous path. The municipal PDF map pack for Pyhäjoki hiking routes includes Pirttikoski together with the wider local trail network.

Getting there

Aim for Pirttikoski village along Pirttikoskentie and the village centre near the school and kylätalo; the mapped trail start coordinates sit in that cluster. The official Pirttikoski village page lists Kuusiniemi bridge and the association-maintained swimming spot by the bridge as orientation points along the river. If you are combining with the river embankment cycle routes, Visit Raahe summarises how north and south embankment roads meet at Pirttikoski and Kuusiniemi bridge.
