For printable maps, markings, firewood rules at the lean-to, and winter maintenance status, start with the City of Heinola’s combined Pirttisalmen polku and Saittalahden polku page. The shoreline lies in Heinola National Urban Park, where Visit Heinola outlines how the park frames Ruotsalainen and other water areas(...
Follow the red arrow markers clockwise on Pirttisalmen polku. Saittalahdenpolku uses green arrow markers in the same direction when you add that loop.
