Description

City of Lahti – Koneharjun yhdysreitti (Salpausselkä Trails)+

Description

Koneharjun yhdysreitti is a very short signed link on the Salpausselkä Trails network in Lahti. The trail is about 0.6 km and connects the Koneharju parking area to the Riihelä forest trails, including Riihelän rinki and the wider red-arrow Kintterön kymppi system. For step-by-step directions, marking colours by direction, and safety at road and underpass crossings, start with the City of Lahti Koneharjun yhdysreitti page. The Salpausselkä outdoor area holds roughly 35 km of marked terrain trails overall; Visit Lahti presents ridge riding and mixed outdoor use in the same recreation zone. Karoliina Kaski’s Retkipaikka report from Kintterön kymppi describes narrow forest paths, clear arrow marking, and how the Salpausselkä Trails network feels on the ground—helpful context for this connector and the loops it feeds into. Tiirismaan Latu ry works with the city on the marked Salpausselkä Trails system and publishes background on the network. From the Koneharju parking area, the route follows Koneharjunkatu toward the Reunakatu light-traffic path, then turns south through a strip of woodland beside Hämeenlinnantie. You cross the light-traffic route and continue through an underpass to join Riihelän rinki -Salpausselkä Trails. The segment includes street and path crossings: yield to people on the light-traffic routes, keep to the right in the underpass, and on a bike ring a bell before the tunnel for visibility. The link is two-way, but the longer loops it meets—Kintterön kymppi - Salpausselkä Trails and Riihelän rinki -Salpausselkä Trails—are marked clockwise; follow those rotation notes when you step onto them. Along the connector you pass close to Erviänpuiston ulkokuntolaitteet, then Likolammen ulkokuntolaitteet and Likolammen uimaranta Lahti. The beach is an EU-class swimming spot with piers and changing rooms on Hoitajankatu 2; buses serve the hospital and Likolampi area if you arrive without a car. The parallel Koneharjun yhdysreitti - Salpausselkä trails MTB line shares the same corridor for riders browsing the biking category. You can branch onto Pirttipolku - Salpausselkä trails, Siltapolku - Salpausselkä Trails, Kasakkamäen kuntorata, or the long Kintterön kymppi - Salpausselkä Trails and Kintterön kymppi - Salpausselkä Trails MTB circuits; Urheilukeskuksen ja Messilän kuntoradat runs a larger sports-centre loop nearby. Lahti sits in the Salpausselkä UNESCO Global Geopark; Päijät-Häme combines lake and ridge scenery for day trips.

Length & route

About 0.6 km as a point-to-point connector from the Koneharju parking area toward Riihelän rinki and the wider Salpausselkä Trails network. Marking depends on direction: red arrows when heading north, blue-yellow arrows when heading south. The City of Lahti lists printable maps and GPX on the trail page.

Getting there

The main access is the Koneharju parking area (Koneharjunkadun P-paikka) at Koneharjunkatu 10, Lahti—the same lot used for Riihelän rinki and Kintterön kymppi. The route runs along Koneharjunkatu, uses the Reunakatu light-traffic connection, crosses Hämeenlinnantie via the light-traffic route, and passes through an underpass to the Riihelä trails. Use kartta.lahti.fi with the outdoor-trails layer to confirm the trailhead pin. Bus lines serve the Päijät-Häme Central Hospital and Likolampi area near Likolammen uimaranta Lahti.

Good to know

No trail lighting; markers are reflective—carry a headlamp or bike lights after dark. Dogs must stay on a leash on municipal forest trails. In winter the marked paths are for foot, fat bike, or snowshoes depending on snow; do not walk on groomed ski tracks except at crossings.
