Description

Hiipireitti Harjavalta is about 2.6 km of the Hiittenharju–Pitkäjärvi (HiiPi) outdoor corridor on the Hiittenharju esker in Harjavalta, Satakunta. It is a short point-to-point hiking and cycling link in the same marked network that the Pitkäjärvi outdoor centre in Kokemäki documents as roughly 15 km one way between Hiittenharju and Pitkäjärvi when you walk or ride the full cross-municipality HiiPi. Avec Marja’s Satakunta mountain-biking article adds colour on the full line’s needle paths, embankments, and rest stops. For this segment’s trail facts and the Metsähallitus outdoor listing, start with the Hiipireitti page on Luontoon.fi. For wider Hiittenharju maps and Lipas-based facility data, use the City of Harjavalta fitness trails and paths hub. The line begins at the Hiittenharju recreation area: you can leave a car at Hiittenharjun parkkipaikka and pass the Hiitteenharjun curlingrata and Hiitteenharjun keilahalli near the ski hill services. The route is not a loop; it continues toward Kokemäki as Hiipireitti Kokemäki, while Hiittenharjun retkeilyreitit and Hiittenharjun pitkät ladut share the same trailhead area with lean-tos such as Hitteenkiukaanmäen Laavu and Laavukota on longer loops. Along this short Harjavalta section the trail runs close to Harjavallan ampumarata and Kettulan metsästysseuran ampumarata—stay on marked paths and follow any safety instructions near shooting ranges. The Kuulumisia nurkkauksesta blog describes sandy needle-carpet forest tracks, occasional blue route markers, and plenty of crossing paths where it pays to watch the markings on longer outings. The same Avec Marja piece sketches the full HiiPi leaving the ski area across Litorina embankments, then easy needle paths and pine forest toward Pitkäjärvi, with rest stops such as Palojärven laavu on the Harjavalta side and Pikkulaavu closer to Pitkäjärvi. Fatbike rental and winter trail grooming are available around Hiittenharju for riders who want to extend the day on linked routes.

Length & route

The trail is about 2.6 km as one Harjavalta-side segment of the Hiittenharju–Pitkäjärvi (HiiPi) route. The Pitkäjärvi outdoor centre quotes about 15.4 km one way between Pitkäjärvi and Hiittenharju for the full through line, with shorter section distances listed for day loops around laavut. This page covers the Harjavalta portion only; combine it with Hiipireitti Kokemäki for the cross-municipality hike or ride.

Getting there

Access is via the Hiittenharju outdoor area on Hiittenharjuntie: Hiittenharjun parkkipaikka sits beside the ski hill and sports buildings, with Hiitteenharjun curlingrata and Hiitteenharjun keilahalli nearby. The City of Harjavalta links to an older Hiittenharju trails PDF and recommends Lipas for current maps—check those layers when planning parking and junctions.

Good to know

The City of Harjavalta lists separate Hiittenharju fitness trail loops of about 5 km, 8 km, and 10 km from the same Hiittenharju address. Hiittenharjun kuntorata and Hiittenharjun kuntolatu add marked running and ski-fitness options that share parking with this route. Respect shooting-range safety near Harjavallan ampumarata and Kettulan metsästysseuran ampumarata.

History

Kokemäen Pitkäjärvi outdoor centre describes the HiiPi trail with shelters as completed in 2003 in the Hiittenharju–Pitkäjärvi landscape as a joint project of the cities of Harjavalta and Kokemäki, implemented with Harjavalta Jymy ry and Teljän Latu ry and with Harjavalta Latu ja Polku ry involved.
