Description

City of Tampere – Hupakankorven luonnonsuojelualue+

Description

The Hupakankorpi connector trail is about 1.2 km in Tampere. It links the Suolijärvi shore and Mäyrämäenpuisto sports area with Hupakankorven luonnonsuojelualue, a small raised bog south of Lake Suolijärvi between Vuores and Hervanta. Tampere sits in Pirkanmaa; this segment is a short point-to-point path rather than a full lakeshore loop. For legal access, what is allowed on the bog, and how boardwalks and the gravel path are meant to be used, the City of Tampere publishes the authoritative text on its Hupakankorven luonnonsuojelualue page. Inside the reserve, movement is guided by boardwalks and a gravel path across the mire; the reserve has no dedicated car park, so most visitors combine it with the Suolijärvi outdoor area and arrive by bus or walk from nearby parking. The Suolijärven luontopolku page describes the wider 4.5 km shoreline circuit, beach parking, and how to reach the shore from Hervantakeskus. Visit Tampere summarises the Suolijärvi nature trail for visitors who want a quick overview of the lake, beach, and cliff scenery. Along the first few hundred metres you pass Mäyrämäenpuisto 2 luistelukenttä and Mäyrämäenpuisto 2 kenttä—local sports fields that help you orient toward the connector—and then the Suolijärvi shore facilities: Suolijärven uimarannan ulkokuntosali and Suolijärven ulkoilumaja, where day visitors often pause before or after the bog. From here the route meets a dense network: Suolijärven luontopolku continues around the lake; Mielenreitti nature trail branches with its lakeshore storytelling loop; Suolijärvi Tampere follows the lake as a marked running route; winter ski tracks and additional running segments cover the same shore; and Hervantajärven retkeilyreitti heads toward the larger Hervantajärvi hiking area. Use this connector when you want a compact walk into Hupakankorpi before or after a longer Suolijärvi outing.

Length & route

The trail is about 1.2 km as one segment. It is not a loop: it ties Mäyrämäenpuisto and the Suolijärvi shore into Hupakankorpi’s boardwalk and gravel path. The full Suolijärvi shoreline loop is about 4.5 km on the City of Tampere’s description of Suolijärven luontopolku.

Getting there

Most people reach the Suolijärvi shore by car or bicycle at Suolijärvi beach parking, or by Nysse buses and roughly 1.3 km on foot or wheels from the Hervantakeskus tram stop—details and the beach address appear on the Suolijärven luontopolku page. Hupakankorpi itself has no dedicated parking; the City of Tampere points to Nysse and the reserve boundary map for planning.

Good to know

Stay on marked routes and follow the reserve rules on the City of Tampere page—wetland habitats here are sensitive. Combine with Suolijärven luontopolku or Mielenreitti if you want a longer walk with information boards and lakeshore rest spots.

History

Hupakankorpi was established as a nature reserve on 11 March 2020 at roughly 8.9 hectares to protect Myllyoja stream and the surrounding raised bog, including habitat for rare stream-dependent insects such as Pirkanpalkonen (Oxyethira tamperensis), described as new to science in 2000.
