Description

For municipal listings and how this trail fits Asikkala’s wider outdoor network, Asikkala.fi nature routes and sites is the clearest official starting point. Retkipaikka’s on-the-ground report by Luontopolkumies adds useful detail on markings, structures, and spring footing. Lahden seudun luonto rounds out the picture with a short overview of Pasolanvuori’s lean-to and campfire corner. Pasolanvuori nature trail is about 1.5 km as a loop in Asikkala near Vääksy and Lake Vesijärvi. The City of Asikkala describes it as a varied outing that leads to a rewarding view over Vesijärvi; Asikkala is also one of the municipalities within the Salpausselkä Geopark, so ridge-and-glacier context is part of the wider story. Walkers move through lush deciduous forest and spruce stands, cross Äkeenoja on small bridges and duckboards, and climb a granite-backed slope before easing along the hilltop. Information boards along the way explain local plants and landforms. About half a kilometre into the walk you reach Pasolanvuoren laavu, set close to the best view west and northwest toward Vesijärvi—an obvious spot for a snack break by the fire ring. Read more about the lean-to on our Pasolanvuoren laavu page. Completing the loop brings you toward Pasolanharjun kotalaavu and Pasolanharjun kuntoportaat (etelä) on the Pasolanharju ridge edge—a different cluster from the summit lean-to, with the large kota-style shelter and popular outdoor fitness stairs visible from shared trail junctions. Our pages for Pasolanharjun kotalaavu and Pasolanharjun kuntoportaat (etelä) have more on those stops. From the same neighborhood you can link onward to Valtakunnallinen pyöräilyreitti nro 4, the Pasolanharjun ulkoilureitti running path, and the shorter lit ski loops described as Golfkentän ladut 2,2 km ja 4,6 km when winter maintenance is in place. Päijät-Häme is a lake-rich region in southern Finland, and Asikkala lies between Vesijärvi and Päijänne—easy to combine with canal-side walking in Vääksy after the hike.

Length & route

The trail is about 1.5 km as a loop on our map. Walking it at an easy pace with photo stops typically fits within about half an hour to an hour. Some municipal and regional pages describe the outing from Kanava Golf in round figures near two kilometres, while blogs sometimes clock closer to 1.3 km on GPS—small differences read as rounding or slightly different start lines along the same signed circuit. Expect roughly 40 metres of climb, duckboards and steps, and short steep descents in places.

Getting there

Drivers usually leave vehicles at the Kanava Golf Vääksy car park on Tehtaantie 3, then follow trailhead signs for a short walk through the forest edge to the start. Retkipaikka pins a map marker very close to the published starting information for convenience. If you arrive by other means through the Pasolanharju recreation cluster, note Pasolanharjun kuntoportaat (etelä) on Pasolanharjuntie—stairs are busy training spots, so expect foot traffic near those junctions.

Good to know

Dedicated YouTube searches did not find a short verified clip explicitly named to only this nature trail. Carry sturdy or waterproof footwear in spring and after rain because duckboard gaps and wet hollows appear quickly. Lighting is forest shade rather than street lights. Dogs are not discussed on the pages used here; check Asikkala.fi or local signs for any updates.
