The Kiimajoki route is Teisko's secret gem. Kiimajoki canoeing route at the beginning of the millennium is located in northern Tampere in the Verata and Terälahti landscape. After Lake Velattaattajärvi, the historic swim route follows the River Kiimajoki downstream and finally ends up in Terälahti, Näsijärvi. The area has about 17 km of guided canoeing routes and three campfires, one with a unique organic lane with wooden liters and dry toilets. Lean -to, a campfire site, a wooden liter with wood supply, a dry toilet and a guidance board. The lean -to was designed by Manu Humppi, an architect from Tampere.

Parkano lies in Pirkanmaa on the forested shoreline of the Kaidatvedet lake chain. Kustaa Hirvi Nature Trail is about 3.6 km of easy–moderate walking that starts from the Forest Museum grounds and threads lake views, spruce and pine forest, a short mire edge, and the glacially smoothed bedrock at Messukallio. For museum hours, wildfire bulletins the city asks you to follow, and how staff describe the eight bilingual activity boards aimed at children, the City of Parkano’s Forest Museum page is the best first stop(1). The Lauhanvuori–Hämeenkangas UNESCO Global Geopark entry for the museum adds driving directions, notes free outdoor access with paid indoor admission in season, and explains how the trail links onward to Käpykintukka(2). About 1.5 km along the route you reach Metsämuseon laavu ja nuotiopaikka, a lean-to and campfire spot beside the museum shoreline band—one of the two fire-allowed laavus called out for this shoreline in local guidance. A little farther on, Riuttasjärvi Beach & Outdoor Grill sits by the water for a swim or picnic when facilities are open, with Riuttasjärven parkkipaikka nearby if you prefer to join the shore from the parking area. The trail is known nationally as a family nature path themed around the “Kustaa Hirvi” character, with eight interactive posts that invite kids and adults to try small challenges and think about forest life. Retkipaikka describes orange paint marks, short duckboard spans along Alainenneva, a bench spur on the mire, and counter-clockwise loop pacing via Messukallio before returning toward the museum(4). Askeleita Suomessa highlights wide lake scenery, easy footing with modest ups and downs, and—as you climb Messukallio—where the route choices divide from Käpykintukka for anyone continuing toward Käenkoski on the longer lakeside hike(3). The rocky point was used historically for outdoor worship when bad weather blocked boat travel to church, and an on-site forest chapel now marks that tradition; surface near the cliffs is uneven, so footing stays more demanding there than on the boardwalk sections. If you want a full-day link hike from the same museum trailhead, Käpykintukka runs roughly seven kilometres one way through Kaitojenvesi scenery toward the Käenkoski area; Luontoon.fi carries the Metsähallitus trail sheet for that continuation(5). Parkanon melontareitti follows the same lakeline for paddlers and shares stops such as Riuttasjärvi Beach & Outdoor Grill when you explore the water trail network.

For the latest municipal listings and links to each trail page, start from the City of Nokia outdoor hub(1). Visit Nokia’s Ruutana page describes the nature reserve around Lake Ruutanajärvi: an easy, marked path, a halfway campfire on the shore, parking coordinates at the end of Haukankatu, and varied forest from dry pine to lush hazel by the stream(2). The Korvola–Linnavuori hiking trail is about 4.4 km point to point in Nokia, Pirkanmaa. It runs through the Korvola and Siuro outdoor area toward the Linnavuori and Ruutana cluster. The route is not a loop: plan to return the same way, use nearby roads, or stitch in other marked trails. About 1.1 km from the start you pass Penttilän lentopallokenttä. Soon after, Ruutanan nuotiopaikka sits by Ruutanajärvi with a maintained campfire in the 27-hectare reserve(2). Askeleita Suomessa walked the Ruutana circuit from the same car park and notes a clearly marked, mostly easy path, a second fire site later on the loop, and firewood at the lakeside site when replenished(3). The same neighbourhood shares trailheads with Ruutana, Siuron valaistu latu, Linnavuoren valaistu rata, and Hakavuoren luontopolku; Korvola–Porin yhdystie hiking trail joins toward the far end for longer outings. The Finnish Association for Nature Conservation's Nokia branch reports that Patria’s guarded area on Siuron Linnavuori requires a separate permit—follow signed public routes and reserve rules, and treat industrial or fenced zones as off limits unless you have permission(4).

The trail is about 1.5 km as a loop on the Pappilanniemi peninsula in Sääksmäki, Valkeakoski, with Vanajavesi shoreline all around. For opening hours, the hand-pulled ferry to the small island, and hire options at the course centre, start with the Visit Tampere page for Pappilanniemi Nature Path(1). The City of Valkeakoski lists this route among its nature paths in Vanajavesi’s lake scenery(2). Parish of Sääksmäki maintains the nature path itself(1). Retkipaikka’s Luontopolkumies walk-through adds practical detail on picnic tables along the water, the covered group fireplace, and how the loop is easiest to follow clockwise with arrow markers from the course-centre parking(3). Valkeakoski lies in Pirkanmaa; Sääksmäki is roughly 10 km from the city centre toward the Sääksmäki bridges. The loop starts from the Pappilanniemi course centre area at Pappilanniemi 51. Along the shore you pass resting spots and views over Vanajavesi; sources describe a campfire site, a kota hireable from the centre, and an outdoor church on a rocky bluff for a quiet stop(1). A hand-pulled rope ferry reaches a nearby islet with a shelter and campfire when the centre has no booked programme on the island(1). The nature path and shared campfire are free to use between 7 am and 8 pm when the course centre has no conflicting event(1)(3). In summer 2021 a 12-hole disc golf course was completed next to the path(1); on our map the route passes Pappilanniemen frisbeegolfrata and runs near Pappilanniemen uimapaikka Sääksmäki, Pappilanniemen pallokenttä Sääksmäki, Pappilanniemen Beachvolleykenttä, and Pappilannieman lentopallokenttä in the same recreation area. Dry toilets are available as part of the centre’s services where provided rather than as named trail waypoints. Terrain is easy and mostly wide footpath with gravel or wood-chip surfacing on flatter sections; one visitor measured about 1.6 km and under an hour without long breaks(3). A bus stop is within walking distance of the area(3).

The Koukun maja to Kalliojärvi hiking trail is about 3.6 km in Nokia, Pirkanmaa. It follows the main forest path between the Koukkujärvi outdoor hub at Koukun maja and wild Kalliojärvi in the Kaakkurijärvi lake landscape. Metsähallitus publishes the same corridor on Luontoon.fi under the winter name Latu Koukun maja - Kalliojärvi; that page is the best place to confirm geometry, season notes, and the national outdoor map view(1). Visit Nokia introduces Koukkujärvi alongside other local nature outings and links to the wider trail and tourism picture(2). The City of Nokia’s luontopolut and outdoor pages gather parking ideas, coordinates for nearby sites, and reserve etiquette for sensitive shorelines(3). Nokia lies west of Tampere. The route is not a loop: it links the serviced trailhead area at Koukun maja—where Kankaantaan Kisa runs a café and winter ski-track services—with the quieter forest and lake shores toward Kalliojärvi. In the same network you can branch to Karhunkierros (Nokia), the Kankaantaka–Koukkujärvi hiking route, the Koukkujärvi–Julkujärvi trail (with a campfire spot at Kivikesku along that longer line), lit running and ski loops, and other shared segments; winter and summer routes often use the same wide, easy-to-follow bases between small lakes and mires(4). Antti Tomminen’s Nokia nature series reminds readers that much of the Koukkujärvi–Kalliojärvi shore zone sits in sensitive bird habitat: give nesting divers and other waterbirds space in late spring and summer, and expect wet ground off duckboards after rain(4). For the latest rules, grooming in winter, and any closures, check Luontoon.fi and the city’s pages rather than relying on informal summaries alone.

Vehmaanniemi nature trail is a short loop of about 1,1 km on a small headland in Lake Rautavesi a few kilometres from central Sastamala in Pirkanmaa. Visit Sastamala publishes visitor-facing background on the seven-hectare heritage meadow: Bronze Age burial cairns along the path, sheep grazing that helps keep the open meadows, and links to the same shoreline walk people use on foot(1). The headland has been a nature reserve since 1973 and is part of the national Natura 2000 site FI0350005, where the habitat description outlines rocky birch pastures, flower-rich dry and mesic meadows, and roughly 160 ant mounds—plus more than twenty breeding bird species and mammals such as hare, moose, and white-tailed deer(2). Most of the loop stays at the forest–meadow edge with Lake Rautavesi in view much of the way. Retkipaikka describes green nature-trail posts, occasional duckboards through pasture gates, and a series of boards on prehistoric burials, grazing, meadow plants, and pasture management(3). One short wooded section breaks up the openness before the route returns along a narrower bank between willows and berry shrubs. There is no campfire site on the circuit itself; a quiet lunch spot is more likely on sunny lakeshore rocks away from the densest ant hills(3). On our map the walking loop lies along the same corridor where scenic cycling routes such as Rautaveden kierros and Stormi-Houhajärvi pyöräilyreitti meet the lakeshore network, so it pairs naturally with a longer bike day around Rautavesi if you want to mix modes(4)(5). A touring-route piece on the same corridor explains how that ride circles the national landscape’s wide lake bays and links villages around Sastamala(4)—use it for broader routing ideas while keeping this headland walk as a short nature stop.

Lakkasuo boardwalk trail is about 3.7 km on our map as one line and is not a closed loop. It crosses the Lakkasuo raised-bog conservation area east of Kantatie 66 (the Orivesi–Ruovesi road) in Pirkanmaa. The route is listed under Juupajoki; in practice most visitors approach from the Orivesi direction, and Visit Orivesi publishes the clearest directions, parking, and public transport notes for this mire(1). The same Visit Orivesi material explains that the area is part of the national mire protection programme, with roughly three kilometres of duckboards and 24 sample plots showcasing typical South and Central Finnish bog types—cloudberries and lingonberries grow here in season(1). A separate Visit Orivesi day-trip article adds that forestry students built a 2.3 km duckboard section named Suojuoksu in 1963; a Suojuoksu memorial plaque stands in the area(2). Summer visits mean walking on duckboards over wet terrain; in winter people often tour on skis when snow crust carries(1). There are no formal trail signs; two paths lead onto the bog, and not every segment appears in mobile topo apps, so checking your position along the boardwalks is wise(3). Jyrki Kokko’s Lakkasuo write-up describes long duckboard stretches, occasional wire mesh for grip, and research-field markers beside the path—useful detail if you like to know what to expect underfoot(3). For Hyytiälä forest station enquiries related to the wider area, Visit Orivesi lists the Hyytiälä contact number and email(1). Juupajoki is in Pirkanmaa. When you combine a day here with other outings on the same road corridor, Visit Orivesi also groups Iso-Vuorijärvi and Siikajärvi routes on its day-trip pages(2).

The Hakavuori nature trail is a short, easy walk on a slate hill in Siuro, Nokia, just south of the Ruutana protected area. For what to expect on the ground, start with Visit Nokia’s Hakavuori introduction(2) and the national trail entry on Luontoon.fi(1). The trail is about 0.9 km as one walk on our map (a linear path you retrace), with modest height differences and wide views from the cliff top over Lake Kulovesi and the Nokianvirta river. Visit Nokia describes five nature-interpretation boards along the roughly 800 m path that explain local nature and geology(2). The rocky ground is volcanic in origin; slopes preserve ancient shorelines with rounded stones, and the mosaic runs from lush hazel woodland through herb-rich forest toward drier pine on rock(2)(5). Antti Tomminen’s long-running Nokia nature series notes small nature-reserve status, lichen-rich spruce, woodpeckers and other cavity nesters, spring flower carpets in the deciduous pockets, and grauwacke boulders along the old beaches(5). The Finnish Association for Nature Conservation’s Nokia local group reported a well-received environmental-education walk where children looked at hazels, dwarf birch, bark lichens on pine, and plentiful blueberries in season(6). About a third of a kilometre from the start, the line passes near Penttilän lentopallokenttä. Retkeilyä Satakunnassa ja muualla Suomessa adds that there is no campfire on the hill(4), which matches Antti Tomminen’s on-site notes(5). For a longer outing with a marked fire pit, combine with Korvola-Linnavuori retkeilyreitti or the Ruutana route and use Ruutanan nuotiopaikka. The same blog suggests pairing the walk with Ossi Somman veistospuisto nearby on Siuronvaltatie(4). Nokia lies in Pirkanmaa, within easy reach of the Tampere region for a side trip.

Lake Vallonjärvi Nature Trail sits on the edge of Valkeakoski, about a kilometre from the centre, on a small lake with rich shoreline plants and busy birdlife. Start with the Vallonjärven luontopolku page on Luontoon.fi(1) for Metsähallitus trail framing, then cross-check practical notes with the City of Valkeakoski’s Luontopolut overview, which lists this walk alongside the city’s other nature paths(2). Visit Tampere and Visit Lakeland Finland both give the same trailhead address, distance figures used in regional marketing, and a compact guide to shoreline plants and birds(3)(4). Valkeakoski lies in Pirkanmaa. The trail is about 1.4 km as one continuous line; published walk descriptions often round to about 2.2 km when they count the full shore circuit with boardwalks, the short forest loop in Heikkilänmetsä, and the return past the car park—useful if you are comparing brochures to a stopwatch outing(3)(4)(5). The route is easy going for most visitors: roughly the first half follows duckboards through light birch woodland and reed-fringed bays, then crosses to Heikkilänmetsä on the east shore—mostly old spruce forest with fallen trunks and a tighter, darker character than the boardwalk section(5). Thirteen numbered information points line the path; Mika Markkanen’s Retkipaikka write-up calls out rut pits (former soil extraction ponds) and the blue paint marks on tree trunks that keep you oriented on the forest loop(5). A bird tower stands near the north end of the lake; Visit Tampere describes the viewing possibilities over the marsh and open water(3). Valkeakosken Sanomat reported a renewed tower, new duckboards, a replaced bridge over Vallonoja, and refreshed signs in 2021—worth remembering if you are comparing older trip photos with today’s structures(6). Bring binoculars in migration and nesting seasons; local sources stress keeping dogs on a leash especially in spring and summer when birds are nesting(6). There is no campfire infrastructure along this city-edge nature walk—plan breaks as carry-in snacks and quiet pauses on benches.

Plan the Aure loop from the route hub on Järvienreitit.fi, which publishes downloadable GPX, an interactive map collection, and the recommended two-day pacing for this quiet-lake corridor(1). Visit Tampere sums up the same ride for visitors starting from Tampere or connecting by train(2). Metsähallitus explains where cycling is allowed in Seitsemisen kansallispuisto and which trails remain hiking-only(3), so read that page before you enter the park on a bike. The trail is about 128.7 km as one closed loop. Järvienreitit.fi quotes roughly 128 km with about 17.3 percent unpaved surface, about 3.7 percent on cycle paths, and roughly 2150 m of ascent along the marketed profile(1)—use our geometry number for GPS planning and treat their brochure-style rounding as the same loop. Pirkanmaa ties together Ikaalinen, Kihniö, and Parkano here, and the line is built for riders who want forest roads, lake beaches, and low traffic rather than busy highways. Near the northern arc around Ikaalinen, the route passes Metsämuseon laavu ja nuotiopaikka and Riuttasjärvi Beach & Outdoor Grill, where a short walking connection meets Käpykintukka through shared lakeshore parking. Linnankylän uimapaikka offers a swimming stop before the trace turns toward the Aure village countryside between fields and compacted sand roads. Inside Seitsemisen, Seitsemisen luontokeskus is the natural service hub with exhibitions and a restaurant, while Kirkaslampi keittokatos and the Kirkaslampi parking cluster lead out toward Kovero pysäköintilaue—many riders stage a car here for a two-day ride as described in the travel press on the same site(4). Koverolampi telttailualue and nearby cooking shelters back onto the Kovero heritage farm setting in the national park. Further west, Luhalahden uimapaikka and the village shore at Luhalahti balance the long west-side lakes, and Tevaniemen uimapaikka marks another swim-friendly bay before you climb back through Yliskylän uimapaikka toward Parkano. Along Viinikanjoki through Parkano, Haapaslammen laavu and Viinikankosken laavu bracket picnic and fishing angles on the same waterway that Parkanon melontareitti follows for canoeists—handy context if your group mixes bikes and boats. Parkano’s centre rewards slow riding: outdoor tables beside the river, local shops, and the town’s well-known ITE sculptures are called out in both the regional and network pages(1)(2). Hanna Eronen describes two summer days on the Aure ring with stops at village cafés, Kihniö’s blanket bog museum road, and Pyhäniemi-style lake accommodation before returning via Poltinkoski and Luhalahdentie, which matches how quiet the back roads feel in practice(4). If you are not bringing your own bike, Ikaalinen Spa & Resort hires Jopo-style city bikes and e-fatbikes near the spa shore in Ikaalinen, including day rates suited to tacking an Aure section onto a resort stay(5).

This route is about 6.6 km as one point-to-point mountain-bike trace through Valkeakoski’s Korkeakangas outdoor hill—the old ski-hill block northeast of the town centre in Pirkanmaa. For lengths of the marked XCO race loops, winter notes, shooting-range rules, and the new stair climb, start with the Korkeakangas hub on the City of Valkeakoski website(1). Valkeakosken Maastopyöräseura documents the fixed XCO markings and warns that lines cross the disc golf layout—slow down and yield at crossings(2). Kuraläppä adds on-the-ground texture in its Trail Center write-up: rocky, rooty hand-built trails, volunteer-shaped berms and line choices, and a nudge to respect other users in shared woods(3). Near the western end you quickly pass Korkeakangas DiscGolfPark, then Korkeakankaan ulkokuntoilupaikka and Korkeakankaan hiihtomaa where winter ski stadium and summer gym clusters sit about 300 m west of the main start–finish band on the 1–5 km ski network. Korkeakankaan pallokenttä 1 Korkeakangas and Korkeakankaan agilitykenttä sit in the same sports pocket. Roughly halfway along the bike trace you come beside Korkeakankaan kuntoportaat—the Antero Kekkonen fitness stair (401 steps, about 62 m vertical) opened in May 2025 on the city pages(1). Further along, the trace meets Korkeakankaan ampumarata; the city restricts use to club-supervised windows and posts seasonal hours(1), so treat that edge of the hill as a safety buffer, not a sightseeing detour. The Korkeakangas trail network also overlaps conceptually with Korkeakankaan kuntorata for runners, Korkeakankaan ladut plus Korkeakankaan tykkilumilatu in winter, and the short Mettivuori conservation forest trail at the western foot of the hill—handy if you want a walking warm-down after a lap. Summer race weekends use the XCO courses from the sand field by the former “taitaja” building; city materials quote 2.1 km and 4.5 km marked race lines completed in 2018(1), while the club posts 2 km and 4.7 km Trailmap.fi cards for the pair(2)—small rounding differences only. Terrain is famously stony for builders but drains well after rain compared with wetter clay hills, which is why locals often ride here early in the spring thaw(3). The same hill draws hikers, skiers, and sledders year-round. Valkeakoski sits in southern Pirkanmaa; for bike hire around town, use the City of Valkeakoski walking and cycling routes page(4).

Parkanon Geopark-kierros is an easy day cycling circuit in the Lauhanvuori–Hämeenkangas UNESCO Global Geopark, promoted on the Geopark’s own Enjoyer-route pages as a gentle introduction to northwestern Pirkanmaa’s peat-village history, ridge-and-lake scenery, and the river corridors that frame Parkano town. Parkano sits on the forested Suomenselkä divide in Pirkanmaa, which is why the circuit blends town services with quiet village roads and short forest-lake views. For turn-by-turn directions, elevation notes (about 69 m of ascent and 60 m of descent over a highest point near 162 m), and GPX planning links, start from the Parkanon Geopark-kierros pages maintained by Lauhanvuori – Hämeenkangas UNESCO Global Geopark(1). The City of Parkano Geopark chapter introduces Kaidatvedet, Alkkianvuori, and the long Pirkanmaa cycling traverse that continues beyond this local loop(2). The City of Parkano outdoor and nature trails hub adds LIPAS listings and the municipal map layers for laavu and trail dots beside the ride(3). The easy touring loop is about 26.6 km as one closed circuit from the town centre. Official copy describes riding south from the market square through Parkanontie and the underpass streets toward Lapinneva’s old peat-industry village, then following Kostulantie across the railway into a roughly 7.5 km gravel link between Harjulampi beach and Vuorijärvi before paved Karviantie brings you back along Vuorijoki’s wooded shore toward the Viinikanjoki lean-to and fishing zone and the final kilometre into downtown(1). Take swim gear if you want a dip: Harjulampi and a short side spur to Isosaari beach are the advertised beach stops, with Harjulammen uimapaikka sitting right on the gravel spine about nine kilometres into the circuit(1). Closer to Parkano core, the same river parks string together laavu shelters, campfire sheds, outdoor gym decks, and the steep timber Kuntoportaat stairs that locals use for training; Viinikankosken laavu, Haapaslammen laavu, Lehtiskosken nuotiokatos, and Haapasen laskettelumäen laavu ja nuotiopaikka make natural break points if you are linking families with short walks from the bike(4). If you fold in extra distance, the long Pirkanmaa Geopark cycling traverse, Parkano’s signposted walking circuits and the Parkanon melontareitti paddling line share many of the same shore landmarks, so combining days by bike, foot, and boat is straightforward once you check each activity’s safety notes with the angling association and your own paddling plan(4). Equipment and repairs are practical in Parkano itself: Velomesto’s cycle-friendly city map calls out Kesport on Parkanontie and Tomi’s Custom Garage for shoppers and workshop help, with several more shops an hour’s ride away in neighbouring towns if you need specialist spares on a longer tour(5).

Really nice beach / pier / outdoor grill right off the main road (3). The water is very clean, flows, beach sandy and no one around. Great place to launch a kayak or canoe or pitch a tent.
