Description

Loukkuvuori Loop is a short hiking circuit in Etelä-Konnevesi National Park, on the shore of Lake Konnevesi in Rautalampi in North Savo. The trail is about 2.9 km and is aimed especially at visitors who arrive by boat or canoe, though you can also reach the start by bicycle. For route description, marking, suggested direction, and seasonal advice, start with the Loukkuvuori Hiking Trail page on Luontoon.fi. Visit Savo summarises the same practical facts for travellers in the region. The start and finish is Enonranta. About a kilometre along the route you pass the Enonranta rest area: Enonranta telttapaikka 2, Enonranta telttailupaikka, Enonranta puolikota, the Enonranta laituri for boats and canoes, and Enonranta liiteri-käymälä. From Loukkuvuori summit the view over the national park is the main payoff described in official material. Retkipaikka published Antti Huttunen’s on-the-ground notes on Loukkuvuori’s giant’s kettle (hiidenkirnu), cliff caves, and how slippery the bare rock can be when wet—worth reading if you plan to explore off the main path. The same shoreline at Enonranta connects to the longer Kolmen vuoren vaellus circuit if you want a full-day mountain hike in the same landscape.

Length & route

The trail is about 2.9 km as shown on our map. Metsähallitus and regional pages round the distance to about 2.8 km and estimate roughly two hours in snow-free conditions. The route is marked with yellow paint marks; the recommended direction is counterclockwise. Terrain is forest path and bedrock sections; independent visitors describe a prominent giant’s kettle and small caves on Loukkuvuori, with steep and slippery rock when wet.

Getting there

The trail begins at Enonranta. You can reach Enonranta by boat or canoe from the lake, or cycle in along Loukkuvuorentie; you cannot drive a car to the trailhead. Use the national park hiking map PDF linked from Luontoon.fi and Visit Savo for overview planning.
