Description

Korkiaismäki Trail is about 2.1 km of walking in Maakeski village, Padasjoki, in the Päijät-Häme countryside north of Lake Päijänne. The Municipality of Padasjoki groups it with Linnamäen polku in the Maakeski nature-and-fitness trail pair, publishes downloadable maps, and points walkers to the Rientola trailhead parking on Mukulintie. The same authority’s nature destinations page links the Maakeski network to a printable route PDF for planning before you leave home. Maakeski lists a contact for trail questions and hosts an online map you can save to your phone. You start practical access from Maakesken monitoimikenttä beside village hall parking at Mukulintie 30 — the same yard the municipality uses as the main trailhead for both Maakeski loops. From there you follow Mukulintie on foot roughly three hundred metres to where the marked hill route branches toward Korkiaismäki; the sister Linnamäen polku continues farther along the road before climbing toward the old ski-jump take-off. Along Korkiaismäki the path rolls through fields into spruce forest and up the hill crest, where managers advertise open views over Päijänne even though trees now partly screen the lake. Retkipaikka’s walk-through by Luontopolkumies adds ground-travel detail: junctions at the hill use wooden markers lettered “polku” rather than paint bands, a signed loop section begins after roughly seven hundred metres on foot from Rientola, and the viewpoint carries a bench plus a guestbook tucked in a roadside mailbox frame — useful orientation if you are unsure you are at the right spur. That report also notes stretches where turf and undergrowth swallow the tread because so few people walk here, so sturdy footwear and long trousers stay sensible even on warm days. There is no maintained campfire point on this trail. For hut bookings, opening-hour quirks, or storm damage, treat the Municipality of Padasjoki and Maakeski as the channels that receive field reports first.

Length & route

The trail is about 2.1 km as one continuous line on our map. Municipality materials usually quote about 3.2 km for the signed Korkiaismäki circuit when you include the Mukulintie connector from Rientola and the hill loop in full. Allow roughly 45–60 minutes on foot without long breaks; Luontopolkumies logged about three kilometres and fifty minutes end-to-end including the lane walk. Expect modest elevation change with gentle climbs that still add up if you are pacing children.

Getting there

Drive to village hall parking at Mukulintie 30, 17570 Padasjoki — the Municipality of Padasjoki publishes the same address block on its outdoor pages and instructs you to walk Mukulintie roughly 300 m toward Korkiaismäki or 400 m before branching to Linnamäen polku. Maakesken monitoimikenttä sits beside that yard and matches the local sports-field address our map already lists. Winter tyre rules follow normal Päijät-Häme highways; there is no separate shuttle.

Good to know

Trail maintenance questions can go to Maakeski village association on 050 490 6217 or maakeski@maakeski.fi. Printable PDFs live on both the municipality site and Maakeski. There is no public fireplace on Korkiaismäki itself; combine with other municipal laavu listings if you need an evening fire elsewhere in Padasjoki.
