Description

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Safaripuiston latu crosses the ski network near Liikuntapuiston kota - Ylivieska for a winter add-on. If you enjoy smartphone orienteering, MOBO control plates sit in the same woods and the club landing page explains the free app download. 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.

Length & route

The trail is about 1,4 km through Hyypänkallio’s protected old-growth stand inside Liikuntapuisto. Because it is not a closed loop, most walkers return along the same marked track unless they stitch in Liikuntapuiston valaistu kuntorata for a longer outing. Combined with the fitness stairs, short bursts on the parkour pad, or a finisher inside Liikuntakeskus, you can stretch a 30-minute forest pause into a half-day town workout.

Getting there

Aim for the Liikuntapuisto bark-track cluster off Salmiperäntie. The City of Ylivieska lists the accessible grill kota at Salmiperäntie 8 beside the track start, with a service building WC opened by phone call; that is the practical arrival address for many visitors. Hyypänkallion kuntoportaat carry their own street address at Salmiperäntie 42 if you want to stage a stair workout before the forest. From the bark track beginning, watch about 100 metres left for the nature-trail markings.

Good to know

The accessible grilling kota is bookable through the city; firewood is included in the rental and the kota has basic cooking gear plus a soot kettle. Check the Timmi calendar linked from their outdoor page for open slots, or call +358 44 4294 472 on weekdays 08:00–20:00. MOBO orienteering relies on QR plates—download the app before you leave home if bandwidth is patchy.
