The Pirkkala Environmental Association is responsible for weekly maintenance and the supply of campfire trees to the wooden liter, located along the path to Iso-Naisenjärvi. The distance from wooden liters to the lean -to is about 100 m.

For current contacts, the wider municipal trail list, and links to the regional outdoor map, start with the outdoor routes and recreation areas material on pirkkala.fi(1). Cross-municipality services and route layers sit on ulkoilutampereenseutu.fi(2). Solja Trail is about 0.4 km in Pirkkala, Pirkanmaa. It is not a closed loop. The line runs through the green corridor between the Solja neighbourhood and the busy Turri lakeside, where families already use Martanpihan leikkialue, Turrin leikkipuisto, Turrin kenttä, and Turrin uimaranta within a few hundred metres of the path. That shoreline belt is tied into Pyhäjärvi’s larger ring of cycling and walking: Turrin metsäraitti is described on the City of Pirkkala website as a lit, winter-maintained crushed-surface promenade between Turrin uimaranta and Soukontie, designed as part of the Pyhäjärvi shoreline network and routed to avoid the core flying-squirrel zone(3). Visit Tampere’s lake-routes material frames Pirkkala as part of the Pyhäjärvi loop options for short spins or longer lake circuits starting from local piers and beaches(4). On foot you can stitch Solja Trail with the adjacent Turrin luontopolku and Turrin polku hiking lines, the Turrin ulkoilureitti walking loop, the Soljan reitti walking connector, and the paved Pirkkalan rantareitti cycling spine when you want a longer outing along Pyhäjärvi without doubling back on the same few metres.

For the national outdoor listing and map layer for this path, Luontoon.fi carries the route entry(1). Day-to-day services at Iso Naistenjärvi—parking off Keskisentie, the lean-to, municipal firewood deliveries to that lean-to when stocks allow, and the outdoor toilet there—are described on the City of Pirkkala outdoor recreation pages(2). Earthworks for the Kurikkakallio industrial zoning have closed the northernmost part of the nature trail on the construction side of the plan; the municipality is working with partners on a possible new alignment, while the section south of that development band stays in use and still reaches Iso Naistenjärven laavu(3). Mari Leijo’s Retkipaikka article on the wider Pirkkala-Seura marked circuit gives a useful on-the-ground picture of climbing Kurikkakallio on a tractor lane, boundary cairns, duckboards across Pehkusuo, bright green paint rings and wooden signs, and how the lake shore fits into a longer walk than this segment alone(4). The trail is about 2,2 km on our map as a point-to-point hike in Pirkkala near Tampere, in Pirkanmaa. It ties into other marked paths around the lake: the Lake Iso Naistenjärvi shore loop, Iso Naistenjärven reitti Syrjän metsätielle, Kävelyreitti Toivion koululta Iso Naistenjärvelle, the Kurikka - Lempäälä walking route, and in snow season the Kurikka - Lempäälä latu ski track. About 0,7 km from the start you are level with Iso Naistenjärven laavu on the lake—worth detouring for shelter, a campfire table, and swimming access in season; read more on our Iso Naistenjärven laavu page. Expect forest paths and short connecting spurs rather than a single giant loop on this mapped segment; after rain, stretches toward the mire can stay soft, so sturdy footwear helps(4). Nature boards along the fuller Pirkkala-Seura circuit introduce local species if you join the wider marked network(4). Check the municipal construction note before you go while the northern reroute is unresolved(3).

For planning walks along Pyhäjärvi’s developing shoreline network, City of Pirkkala lists Haikan raitti among the pedestrian sections tied to the wider Pyhäjärvi shoreline route and the roughly 31 km Pyhäjärvi scenic circuit marked with blue-and-white Pyhä symbols(1). The same municipality publishes contacts for outdoor routes and points readers to the Tampere region’s shared outdoor and hiking map service for cross-border trail browsing(2). Suurtampere’s district guide situates Haikka on Pyhäjärvi’s shore a few kilometres from central Tampere, describing it as a garden-suburb single-family area with deep local history, community dance pavilion traditions, and lakeshore recreation(3). The trail is about 0.4 km in Pirkkala in the Pirkanmaa region. It is a short, practical link through Haika’s neighbourhood sports cluster rather than a backwoods hike. About two tenths of a kilometre in you pass Haikan luistelukenttä and, beside it, Haikan beachvolleykenttä and Haikan leikkipuisto at Puistokatu 2. A little farther along the line sits Haikan pallokenttä off Haikankatu. The playground equipment was renewed in a small renovation project with new multi-use frame, swing, sandpit, seating, bark safety surfacing, and a fence facing Puistokatu(4). If you want a longer outing on two wheels, the same corner plugs into Pirkkalan rantareitti, the local lakeside biking strand, and into the enormous Pyhäjärven maisemareitti ja Pyhäjärven kierros network that threads shores and services around Pyhäjärvi.

For up-to-date construction background, winter upkeep, lighting, and how the corridor was routed away from flying squirrel core habitat, start with the Municipality of Pirkkala’s Turrin metsäraitti page(1). Luontoon.fi publishes the same trail under the name Turrin luontopolku for national outdoor browsing(2). Reissuesan matkablogi visited every Pirkkala swimming beach in 2023 and describes Turrin uimaranta—lifts, a floating diving platform, steep profile, and modest lawn space—with Pyhäjärvi ship traffic visible toward Rajasalmi bridge(3). The trail is about 0.3 km on our map as a short, easy shore connector in Pirkkala on Pirkanmaa’s Pyhäjärvi coast. Pirkkala is a short drive southeast of Tampere; the Turri recreation strip pairs the path with Turrin uimaranta, Turrin kenttä, Martanpihan leikkialue, and Turrin leikkipuisto for a compact family outing. Walking east from the beach side you move on a three-metre-wide crushed-surface park path that is lit and winter maintained, threaded to stay clear of protected flying squirrel zones while still linking lakeside services(1). The same municipal project replaced an older natural rowing beach with a new ten-berth rowing dock beside the swimming beach; beach and parking areas are planned as their own follow-on work(1). On our map the adjoining Turrin polku hiking segment continues the same Turri shore network, while the long Pyhäjärven maisemareitti ja Pyhäjärven kierros cycling corridor runs much farther around the lake toward other municipalities. Expect a brief lakeside stroll rather than a wilderness hike—perfect as a warm-down after swimming or as a stroller-friendly link between Turri’s play areas and the shore.

For published maps of shoreline trails, beaches, and services across Pirkkala and neighbouring municipalities, the City of Pirkkala points visitors to the Tampere region outdoor and hiking map service linked from its outdoor recreation pages(1). Virkaniemi Trail is about 0.4 km on our map: a very short crushed-gravel shore walk on Virkaniemi, the wooded peninsula that reaches into Lake Pyhäjärvi beside Pirkkala town centre. Pirkkalainen’s walk-through of the new central shoreline route describes this kind of section as a murske-surfaced path a few hundred metres long, squeezed between homes and the lake as part of the wider Pyhäjärvi shore network(2). The same newspaper’s later planning coverage notes that the completed shoreline route for walking and cycling connects out to Virkaniemi, ties into a larger Pirkkala and Tampere network, and is being extended along other shores such as Turri and Soukonlahti over time(3). Our page also connects to the nearby Pirkkalan rantareitti cycling shoreline and to Virkaniementie, the matching short walking segment that shares this needle of land. Today the peninsula is mainly a quiet green wedge: seasonal sheep grazing has been part of managing open areas, and you regularly meet dog walkers and neighbours out for a stroll(3). Land-use work aims to keep Virkaniemi as public park and recreation space rather than built development, with a formal plan process running toward summer 2027 and future park design after that(3). If you are combining outings, Pereensaaren nuotiopaikka and other shore facilities lie along Pirkkalan rantareitti a few kilometres away on our map—worth a look when you want a longer lake-edge day.

For the lean-to and campfire at forest pond Seiväslampi in Pirkkala’s Kurikanmäki recreation cluster, City of Pirkkala lists Seiväslammen laavu in the woods between Sienimetsäntie and Erämiehentie and the municipally maintained Seiväslammen nuotiopaikka among its official campfire locations(1). The municipality only delivers split firewood to Iso Naistenjärven laavu, so for Seiväslampi you should carry your own wood and kindling(1). Open fires elsewhere on municipal land are not allowed except at designated sites(1). Cross-municipality trail and service browsing for the Tampere city region is on Ulkoilutampereenseutu.fi(2). The trail is about 0.5 km in Pirkkala in the Pirkanmaa region. It is a short forest link aimed at Seiväslammen laavu rather than a long nature hike. About 70 metres in you pass Pirkkala DiscGolfPark on Sienimetsäntie. Kurikan kuntoportaat and Kurikanmäen kuntoilupiste sit on the hill shoulder a few hundred metres from the path but belong to the same Kurikanmäki outdoor pocket; the timber stairs were built in 2019 with about 166 steps and roughly 17–18 m of vertical gain, dusk-to-dawn hill lighting, a landing bench mid-way, a handrail along one side, and an outdoor fitness point finished at the top(3). The stairs are closed for winter from 10 December onward because there is no winter maintenance and surfaces can be dangerously icy; cleated shoes are not allowed on the wooden steps(3). The municipality notes nearest car parking at the end of Sienimetsäntie or at a general parking area along Kurikantie for visitors heading to the stairs(3). Around the Ollikantie side of the block, Vahverotien leikkipuisto and Riistapolun leikkipuisto lie near Riistapolun luistelukenttä—handy landmarks if you approach from the housing blocks rather than Sienimetsäntie. At about 0.43 km along the route you reach Seiväslammen laavu beside the pond. The same corner ties into longer walking loops such as Kurikanmäen ulkoilureitti and Killon lenkki, into lit ski connections including Seiväslampi – Vähänaistenjärven latu, and into other ski and walking segments that share Seiväslammen laavu—useful if you want to combine a quick shelter stop with a wider tour of Kurikanmäki and Killo.

The trail lies on the shores of Iso Naistenjärvi, a forest lake in Pirkkala, Pirkanmaa. Pirkkalan kunta maintains the Iso Naistenjärven laavu with a campfire place, a woodshed, and an outdoor dry toilet; the municipality delivers firewood to this lean-to only, and supplies can run low after busy weekends(1). haloo.pirkkala.fi notes that the Keskisentie parking area also suits winter skiers, because Toivio ski trails run just across the road(2). The route on our map is about 1,1 km as a loop around the lake. That makes a compact outing focused on Iso Naistenjärven laavu and the surrounding shoreline. The wider Iso Naistenjärven luontopolku network, cared for by Pirkkala-seura with nature boards and yellow arrow markings, links Pehkusuo duckboards, Kurikkakallio viewpoint, and village-boundary stones before returning toward Jasperintie; Luontoon.fi lists Kurikkakallion luontopolku as the longer trail on the same hill-and-bog canvas(3). Retkipaikka’s Luontopolkumies describes coffee at the north-shore tables, an easy shore circuit, and swim access along the south bank on a calm day(4). Pia Nykänen’s trail-running notes add detail on how markings use wooden signs plus green and yellow paint rings on trees and rocks, and how the bog crossing sits on sturdy duckboards with a bench mid-way(5). Askeleita Suomessa used the Keskisentie approach for a family-friendly kilometre each way to the laavu and commented on easy-to-moderate forest tread with some rock(6). From this loop you can combine with Kävelyreitti Toivion koululta Iso Naistenjärvelle for a school-to-lake walking line, Iso Naistenjärven reitti Syrjän metsätielle toward Syrjän metsätie, or Kurikkakallion luontopolku for a longer forest loop—read more on our pages for those routes. Dry toilets sit with the lean-to area rather than as separate sights. Expect damp tread after rain; waterproof shoes stay a sensible choice on the approaches(4)(5)(6).

Pirkkala shoreline route is about 9.7 km as a point-to-point lakeside corridor on the Pyhäjärvi shore in Pirkkala, Pirkanmaa. For how the Pirkkala sections fit into the wider Pyhäjärvi shoreline programme and future links, start with the Municipality of Pirkkala Pyhäjärvi shoreline hub(1). Metsähallitus publishes this route on Luontoon.fi(2); the page notes lighting. The same corridor belongs to the roughly 31 km Pyhäjärvi scenic circuit stitched across Tampere, Nokia, and Pirkkala, marked with blue-and-white Pyhä symbols on the wider circuit(1). News coverage from Pirkkalainen while the central shore section was finishing describes a crushed-surface path between homes and the beach with open views across Pyhäjärvi toward Pispala(4). From the Rajasalmi end you are beside Rajasalmen silta Kalastuspaikka and can step onto the short Rajaniemen luontopolku nature link. The Turri shore belt packs in Turrin uimaranta, children’s playgrounds, Martanpihan leikkialue, and branches to Turrin polku, Turrin luontopolku, Turrin ulkoilureitti, Soljan polku, and Soljan reitti—handy if you want to shorten the ride or walk side loops. Further east near the sports blocks you pass Pirkkalan vapaa-aikakeskus, outdoor gym points, and turf pitches; ski connectors and the Vähäjärven ympäri -kävelyreitti lit loop around Vähäjärvi meet this shore route near the central sports field area(1). Beyond Haikka’s parks, courts, and ice rink, Loukonlahden venelaituri and Loukonlahden uimapaikka mark the Loukonlahti bay, with a winter swimming spot in season. The northern half crosses toward Pereensaaren nuotiopaikka and Pereen Sahapuisto before finishing above Nuolialanlaakson puistot: a surfaced campfire point on Pereensaari is a natural coffee stop before the last several kilometres. Boardwalk-style specifications for the Naistenmatkanlahti length—three-metre width, bollard lighting along gardens, pole lights in the forested connector, winter maintenance—are documented on the Naistenmatkan rantaraitti project page(3). For lake-loop context, regional cycling hire, and how Pyhäjärvi links to the broader lake-trails ideas around Tampere, Visit Tampere’s cycling article is a practical complement(5).
