Susivuori Nature Trail is about 4.8 km of marked walking in Närpiö, Ostrobothnia, on the bilingual outdoor hill known locally as Vargberget. Vargbergets Fritidscentrum publishes Naturstigen markings and route descriptions on its hiking page(1). City of Närpiö links a regional hiking map from its outdoor recreation pages(2). The line threads the same recreation cluster families use for skiing and biathlon. About 2.9 km from the start you pass the Sparbanken Biathlon Arena, where the same path network meets the longer Goljatleden and shares trailheads with Susivuoren valaistu latu and Susivuoren kuntorata for winter skiing and running. Susivuoren kuntoportaat and Susivuoren hiihtomaja sit a little farther along the hill together with rental and gathering spaces described on the association pages(3); the ski lodge side is a practical place to aim for when parking before walking the last few hundred metres to the wooden lookout. Vargberget frisbeegolf appears before the eastern swing of the circuit. Marking on trail trees is yellow on Naturstigen; Goljatleden uses the same colour family for its roughly 18 km round(1). Optional side trips spelled out on Vargberget’s hiking page include Trollstigen toward a roped rock wall and a more demanding detour to Jättegrytan, a deep pothole-like hollow in the bedrock(1). The eight-metre viewing tower gives an overview toward national road 8 and surrounding forest when visibility is good(1). Terrain mixes forest tracks, rockier passages near viewpoints, and short gravel connectors toward the swimming beach in the centre’s materials(1).

Tjärlax hiking trail is about 4.3 km on our map as a point-to-point route through the Tjärlax countryside in Närpiö, on the Ostrobothnian coast. For the latest hiking route map and municipal outdoor information, start with the City of Närpiö’s sport and outdoor pages, which link to a Vaellusreittikartta (hiking route map) covering the municipality(1). The Tjärlax recreation area—including a camping and cottage village by a coastal bay—is described for visitors on Visit Närpes, which is the practical place to check services, opening patterns, and accommodation near the trail(2). The route is not a loop. About 0.73 km from the route start you come past Tjärlaxin uimaranta on Grönnesvägen, a swimming beach that works well as a swim or picnic stop if you align your walk with public beach use. Pair the hike with a look at Närpiö’s wider outdoor network if you are staying in the region—the same municipal pages bundle links useful for planning combinations(1). Ostrobothnia’s coastal villages here mix small roads, forest paths, and shoreline views typical of the Kvarken countryside. Read signage and any seasonal local notices on site; the City of Närpiö’s materials are the right place to confirm access and map detail before you travel(1).

For what the rental house includes, bedding rules, and contacts for Naturstation Gåshällan, the association’s facilities page is the practical starting point(1). Osuuskunta Aurinkoreitti’s Solrutten entry for the nature station lists pier depths and mooring updates and states outright that a footpath leads to the pilot station guest harbor (harbour number 1452); it also covers the boater sauna fee and winter closing date(2). Kvarken Guide places Gåshällan among Närpes outer skerries about eight kilometres from the nearest harbour, calling it a small, mostly open rock skerry with fine cliff-lined shores on the seaward side and summarising how the old coast guard station became a nature station and camp hub(3). Pellebloggen’s 2015 sailing post follows a day trip to the island and highlights the landmark white-and-red station buildings against the open sea(4). Gåshällan nature trail is about 0.4 km as a short point-to-point path on Gåshällan island in the Bothnian Sea off Närpiö, in Ostrobothnia. In practice it links the Naturstation area beside GÅSHÄLLANIN Vuokratupa and GÅSHÄLLANIN SAUNA toward the pair of guest-harbor docks, Gåshällan norra bryggan and Gåshällan södra bryggan, at the north end of the skerry. The surroundings are rocky outer-archipelago terrain; expect uneven footing and typical skerry wind exposure rather than a forest stroll. Read more on our pages for GÅSHÄLLANIN Vuokratupa, GÅSHÄLLANIN SAUNA, Gåshällan norra bryggan, and Gåshällan södra bryggan for booking, berthing, and services tied to those stops. Dry toilets and indoor sauna use follow the house and harbor rules described for station and visiting boat guests. Most people reach the island by private or chartered boat; berth etiquette, seasonal sauna wood charges, and harbour numbers for the updated guest harbor are spelled out on the Solrutten page(2). Always confirm wind, waves, and ice conditions locally before crossing open water.

For route descriptions, marking, and how Goljatleden fits together with the shorter nature loop at Vargberget, the Vargberget recreation centre pages are the best on-site source(1). The City of Närpes also publishes a hiking route map alongside its outdoor recreation hub so you can compare this loop with other trails in the municipality(2). Visit Närpes highlights the region’s forests and coast and points visitors toward well-maintained hiking routes for a mix of calm and adventure(3). Goljatleden is about 17.9 km as one loop on our map—roughly an 18 km circuit in published material. The trail is marked in the terrain with yellow paint on trees and with signs(1). According to the facility description, the long loop starts at the bridge by the biathlon arena and finishes at the sauna area, passing Goljatberget along the way(1). The same hill area is known as Susivuori in Finnish and Vargberget in Swedish; near the end of the loop you pass the Sparbanken Biathlon Arena, Vargberget disc golf, Susivuoren kuntoportaat fitness stairs, and Susivuoren hiihtomaja ski lodge—useful landmarks if you are matching the route to a map or planning a break. The 5 km Susivuori Nature Trail shares this hill cluster and is marked in yellow from the sauna toward the swimming beach, with optional side trips such as the red-marked “troll” branch to a cliff with ropes and a more demanding spur to a giant’s kettle(1). Susivuoren valaistu latu (lit ski trail) and Susivuoren kuntorata running loop also start from the same sports hill, so you can combine activities by season without moving the car. Independent walker Jorma Murto describes an overnight hike on Goljatleden from the Vargberget leisure centre via Goljatberget, enjoying blueberries and quiet forest—worth reading for a first-hand sense of pace and atmosphere(4).
