Description

Linnamäki Trail is about 1.8 km of marked walking in the Maakeski village outdoor network in Padasjoki, Päijät-Häme. For closures and route notes, start with the City of Padasjoki hiking and outdoor routes hub. Maakeski lists the liaison contact for the nature and fitness trails, a downloadable map PDF, and reminders that both Maakeski loops are marked. The municipality highlights a steep opening climb toward the take-off of a former ski jump—expect a punchy first section before the path eases along the forested hill. Early on you pass the Maakesken pallokenttä ball field area, a useful landmark in the open part of the village. On our map the nearby Korkiaismäen polku trail begins a few hundred metres away; walkers often pair the two loops in one outing from the same trailhead zone. Retkipaikka published Luontopolkumies’ walk-through of Korkiaismäen polku from Rientola: it describes the short Mukulintie connector, wooden “polku” signposts at junctions, and how quiet the lanes stayed on a summer weekday—useful background for how Maakeski feels underfoot even though that article follows the sister route. The City of Padasjoki nature destinations page packages downloadable PDF maps for the Maakeski pair; keep a copy on your phone if you like paper-style navigation.

Length & route

The trail is about 1.8 km. The City of Padasjoki also publishes brochure figures for Maakeski outings that count the Mukulintie approach from kylätalo Rientola together with the hill loops, and pairs this route with the roughly 3.2 km Korkiaismäen polku description on the same pages. Terrain is mostly forest footpath with a demanding opening climb; sturdy footwear helps on the steep pitch. Allow about 45–60 minutes with photos if you are stopping at the old jump hill vantage points.

Getting there

Drive to kylätalo Rientola, Mukulintie 30, 17470 Padasjoki, and use the village hall yard parking noted by the City of Padasjoki. Walk about 400 metres farther along Mukulintie to reach the Linnamäki trail start; the Korkiaismäen polku fork is about 300 metres along the same road if you want that loop first. Retkipaikka confirms there is generous space at Rientola but little on-site signage pointing to the trailheads, so read the municipal or Maakeski map before you leave the car.
