Description

The Paltanmäki–Tallukallio MTB and walking route is a short forest line in Orivesi that links the Paltanmäki sports hill with the Tallukallio residential and trail junction area. For markings, permitted uses, and how this segment fits the wider Hiihtomaa–Paltanmäki network, the City of Orivesi publishes practical notes on Visit Orivesi’s mountain biking trails page. Metsähallitus lists the same named route on Luontoon.fi for nationwide outdoor planning. The mapped trail is about 2.2 km and reads as a point-to-point forest ride and walk: the city describes the wider Paltanmäki–Hiihtomaa MTB network as medium difficulty with a varied profile, marked in the terrain with orange markers, and intended for mountain biking and walking in summer and for mountain biking and snowshoeing in winter, with an active local winter-biking community helping keep trails rideable year-round. From the Paltanmäki side you start among the ice hall and school sports cluster on Opintie, where the route geometry passes close to Orivesi ice arena, the upper ball fields, and Paltanmäen elämysportaat—the outdoor fitness stairs built as a rural development project beside the museum and sports campus. That cluster is also where the lit Paltanmäki fitness loop and ski tracks branch off, and where the official sock-shoe running championship route runs through the woods. Riding or walking toward Tallukallio, you move into mixed pine forest between the built edge and the Teerijärvi recreation landscape. At Tallukallio the line meets the connector toward Leppästenvuori and the junction described on Visit Orivesi’s Teerijärvi loop page: from there you can continue onto the roughly 12 km Teerijärvi circuits with laavu shelters and summer maps published by the city, or treat this segment as a focused warm-up before longer rides on Teerijärven ulkoilureitti or the parallel ski and running connectors. Hiihtomaa–Paltanmäki retkeilyreitti follows another documented line through the same landscape if you want a different link in the network.

Length & route

About 2.2 km as one continuous line between the Paltanmäki sports area and the Tallukallio trail junction. The terrain is short but the city classes the wider Paltanmäki MTB network as medium difficulty with changing ups and downs rather than a flat cruise.

Getting there

The City of Orivesi directs riders and walkers to join the Hiihtomaa–Paltanmäki MTB network either from Hiihtomaa on Leppästentie 97 or from the ice hall forecourt on Opintie 2, where route boards are posted at the starts. That matches the prepared geometry, which begins beside the Opintie sports block. For trips that continue from Tallukallio toward Teerijärvi, Visit Orivesi gives separate access notes for the lake loop from the Paltanmäki–Leppästenvuori connector and from Teerijärvi beach.

Good to know

Orange markers in the forest are the primary on-trail cues. Winter riders should still confirm snow conditions and any ski-track overlaps with the city’s winter sports updates rather than assuming full access on shared corridors. The Teerijärvi summer map PDF on Visit Orivesi is the best companion if you extend the ride beyond Tallukallio.
