Hyypänkallio nature trail is about 1,4 km through a protected old-growth pocket in Ylivieska’s Liikuntapuisto sports park, minutes from the town centre in North Ostrobothnia. The City of Ylivieska describes a marked branch that leaves the bark track about 100 metres from its start, bound for quiet forest that feels deliberately separate from the busy exercise zone around the stadium(1). Within a few hundred metres of that hub you pass Hyypänkallion kuntoportaat—25-metre fitness stairs with a midway landing—and Salmiperän moukarinheittopaikka, then thread toward Liikuntapuiston kota - Ylivieska and Liikuntapuiston parkour-alue Ylivieska as the path ties the woodland section to the larger park(1). Those stairs double as a leg-burning warm-up before you slip into the aarnimetsä stretch the municipality promotes as a calming, almost storybook forest setting(1). Further along the line toward Liikuntakeskus you skirt indoor facilities such as Padel Ylivieska / sisäkentät, Ylivieskan Liikuntakeskuksen squash-halli, Ylivieskan Liikuntakeskuksen uimahalli, Ylivieskan Liikuntakeskuksen tennishalli, and Ylivieskan Liikuntakeskuksen Sisäkiipeilyseinä—handy landmarks if you arrive by foot from Närhitie(1). The same park hosts the roughly 5,8 km Liikuntapuiston valaistu kuntorata and parallel Liikuntapuiston valaistulatu; walkers on those loops reach Koivukallion laavu and Huhjan esteetön laavu with not much extra distance if you want a fire or shelter after the short nature walk(1). Safaripuiston latu crosses the ski network near Liikuntapuiston kota - Ylivieska for a winter add-on(1). If you enjoy smartphone orienteering, MOBO control plates sit in the same woods and the club landing page explains the free app download(1)(3). Keskipohjanmaa reporting on Liikuntapuisto’s participatory-budget work notes how new cycling lines are being layered beside the existing nature paths near the centre—useful context if you also ride the vajaa 2 km maastopyöräreitti the city finished in autumn 2025 with larger jumps at Hyypänkallio(1)(2).

For shelters, firewood, access roads, and seasonal grooming, start with the City of Ylivieska’s outdoor recreation pages(1). The Joonaala Trail is about 14.7 km point-to-point through forest between the Liikuntapuisto–Huhja area and the Huhmari outdoor area in Ylivieska, North Ostrobothnia. It follows the same corridor as the Salmiperä–Joonaala–Huhmari winter connection track: in winter that link is an unlit ski trail that needs more snow than the groomed stadium loops; in summer and autumn you walk or ride the same kind of forest paths and track beds that locals use for hiking, skiing, and mountain biking between the sports park and Huhmari(1). From the Huhja end, the accessible lean-to at Huhjan esteetön laavu sits near a short, bridged approach with resting spots and bird boards along roughly 700 m from Huhjantie(1). About three kilometres farther along the route you reach Kivinevan laavu, where the city keeps a traditional log lean-to with a fireplace and, after a late 2025 renewal, a new sheltered kota-style lean-to and refurbished duckboards funded under Finland’s Suomi liikkeelle programme for nearby recreation areas(1)(2)(3). Around the midpoint, Joonaalan kota stands on the Ylivieska–Huhmari track: the parish owns the kota and a small bookable cabin nearby, with the kota open on a self-service basis and the cabin for small groups by reservation(1). Farther toward Huhmari, Rämekummun laavu offers a small shelter roughly halfway between Joonaala and the stadium hills, and Huhmarlammen laavu sits by a rocky shore at the end of Huhmarlammen forest road, with a fireplace and woodshed and swimming off the rocks in warm weather(1). The route finishes near Huhmarin kota and the Huhmarkallio parking area beside Huhmari’s competition and training facilities—close to lit ski loops, the MTB Huhmari route, fitness stairs, and other Huhmari services you can combine for a longer day(1). The same corridor doubles as Joonaalan latu in winter; Liikuntapuiston valaistu kuntorata and other Liikuntapuisto trails meet the Huhja end of the line. For a different long day hike in the same municipality, Törmälän luontopolku links some of the same Huhmari facilities into a separate network(1).

MTB Huhmari is about a five-kilometre forest-and-track loop on Huhmarkallio beside Ylivieska’s Huhmari sports park. For opening context, winter lighting on the shared gravel fitness tracks, the sled hill at Hyypänkallio, and how the MTB line sits next to those facilities, start with the outdoor sports facilities information published by City of Ylivieska(1). The participatory budgeting implementation page(2) describes the mountain-bike project finished toward the end of 2025: roughly two kilometres of new riding for beginners through advanced riders, partly in woodland and partly along the lit gravel loop, with larger optional jump lines at Hyypänkallio, a Salmiperäntie 8 trailhead, and contracting through Trail It Oy after a competitive tender. Kalajokilaakso reported on the timing of that build and how residents voted for the investment(4). The Huhmarin ulkoiluarea Blogspot page mirrors the breadth of the area—kilometres of ski trails (with several kilometres lit), disc golf, biathlon infrastructure, and mountain-bike options—useful as a quick amenity checklist even though it is not an official channel(5). Riding on this line is easiest to picture as a tour of the Huhmarkallio cluster rather than a remote backcountry loop. You leave from the Huhmari competition-centre edge with Huhmarin kisamajan kuntosali and Huhmarin kisamaja nearby, and Huhmarkallion parkkipaikka gives a straightforward place to leave a car. About one kilometre into the circuit you pass Huhmarin kota, a good breather before the climb toward Huhmarin pulkkarinne. On the high side, Huhmarin kuntoportaat sit close to Rinnemajan laavu, Rinnemajan nuotiopaikka, and Huhmarin rinnemaja—practical stops if you want stairs training or a fire-ring shelter before rolling back toward the disc-golf clearing. Huhmarkallio Discgolfpark’s forest course on rolling terrain is documented by the frisbee course registry(6). The same recreation ticket also threads past the lit running circuit Huhmarin valaistukuntorata and parallel winter skiing on Huhmarin valaistulatu. If you want to mix pedalling with longer walking, Joonaala Trail leaves from the same hill system; registry copy for Joonaalan retkeilyreitti appears in Finland’s national outdoor route service(3). An even longer hiking ring in the wider network is Törmälän luontopolku, which shares some facilities around the competition buildings.
