Distance
Visit Päijänne allows about 1–2 hours for the signed route depending on pace and stops at information boards. Fast movers sometimes complete the longest marked variant in under an hour.
Est. Time
Mostly easy forest path on esker sand and needle bed with blue blazes; wet stretches use duckboards; bloggers note short steep climbs, stone and root obstacles, and occasional slimy boards after rain. Walking shoes or light boots suffice in dry weather.
