City of Lahti – Turrankierto+

Description

Turrankierto is about 1.8 km per direction as a two-way marked hiking trail between Nastola sports centre and Turranmetsä forest beside Turranlampi in Lahti, Päijät-Häme. For the latest on route phases, winter behaviour near ski tracks, and the active frisbee disc golf course beside the path, follow the City of Lahti’s Turrankierto trail page. The Salpausselkä Trails hub on the city site places Turranmetsä among the east-Lahti marked trail areas and reminds visitors to carry a map because markers are sometimes vandalised. Visit Lahti presents Salpausselkä Trails and varied terrain for trail running as part of the wider Lahti region outdoor offer. The route is a phase-one link completed around 2022 along the south side of the lake; a future loop over the north shore and cliffs is planned later. You walk through older spruce forest on mossy ground, clear brooks, and shoreline at Turranlampi, with small ditch bridges and a short duckboard section. Roots and short climbs make sections moderately demanding while other parts are easier; the path is not barrier-free. The line starts from the Nastola sports centre area on Turrantie, where the trail passes the frisbee course and other facilities—watch for discs on the sports-centre side. The same sector connects to Loistopolku, a longer running route through the network that shares the sports-centre end of the line. Nearby stops include Rakokivi DiscGolfPark, Nastolan uimahalli, and other outdoor facilities clustered around Urheilutie. Open fires are not allowed along the trail. In winter the marked path briefly crosses maintained ski tracks—walkers should keep to the edge and yield to skiers; there is no winter grooming on the trail, so it packs by use and snowshoes are an option in deep snow. There is no lighting; use a headlamp in dusk and darkness.

Length & route

The trail is about 1.8 km per direction as a two-way marked linear route. It connects Nastola sports centre and Turranmetsä; phase one follows the south side of Turranlampi, with a future northern loop planned.

Getting there

Main access starts at Nastolan Urheilukeskus, Turrantie 5, with parking and map links in the city’s map service. A second start on the Turranmetsä side is at Metsänhengentie 13. The Salpausselkä Trails hub recommends downloading PDF maps or using kartta.lahti.fi because trail markers are occasionally damaged.

Good to know

Do not ride mountain bikes on this short, rooted hiking trail; the city directs cyclists to Loistopolku and other easy paths and to Rakokivi competition ski track bases for more demanding riding. Dogs must stay on leash. You may move freely under everyman’s rights in the wider area—cliffs north of the lake have drop hazards, so use care.
