Description

For up-to-date route rules, markings, and what is allowed on Tiirismaa hill, start with the City of Hollola’s Tiirismaa tour page. Visit Lahti introduces Pirunpesä gorge and Tiirismaa as a Salpausselkä UNESCO Global Geopark highlight, with practical access notes from Arvi Hauvosentie. Retkipaikka’s walk-through gives a clear feel for the steepest climbs and the sequence of Pirunpesä, Martan Maja laavu, and Tilkin kurkistus around the loop. Tiirismaa Tour is about 4.6 km as a circular hiking trail on rocky forest ridges above Messilä. The hilltop reaches 223 m above sea level with roughly 70 m of vertical over the circuit, and the path is marked with red-orange paint along narrow forest tread. About 2.4 km into the loop you reach Martan Maja Laavu on the high ground; Pirunpesän nuotiopaikka and the Pirunpesä ja Tiirismaa gorge passage follow, where quartzite walls drop beside the trail. Tilkin kurkistus opens a view west toward Iso-Tiilijärvi. Near the end of the circuit, Tiiristupa stands close to the Messilä sports and ski area, so you can combine the walk with other services there. On wet days you may hear water moving in rock crevices along the upper slopes. The same Messilä outdoor area links to Järvien kierros, a longer lake circuit around Iso- and Vähä-Tiilijärvi, and to Messilän ladut/Hollola for groomed ski tracks in winter. Tiirismaan villilenkki and Tiirismaan huippupolku reuse parts of the rock and forest tread for summer biking. Hollola lies in the Päijät-Häme region.

Length & route

The trail is about 4.6 km as one loop. The City of Hollola describes the circuit as moderate difficulty with roughly 70 m of height difference, red-orange paint marks, and a highest point at 223 m above sea level.

Getting there

Visit Lahti notes parking at Arvi Hauvosentie and that the shortest path to Pirunpesä is under one kilometre from the car park. Retkipaikka describes the signed start from the Televisiotie bend near an information board a short walk from the main parking. Use the city’s map on their trail page for the latest layout of the car park and junctions.

Good to know

Tiirismaa’s rock slopes are nationally valuable and part of the Salpausselkä UNESCO Global Geopark; the Pirunpesä surroundings lie in a nature reserve and Natura 2000 network as described by Visit Lahti. The City of Hollola states that open fire is not allowed along the route, even though Martan Maja laavu and Pirunpesän nuotiopaikka are named stopping points—confirm current fire and grilling rules on the city’s pages before you visit.
