Jämi – Vaarinnevankeitaan suoluontopolku+

Description

Vaarinnevankeitaan suoluontopolku is an easy art-themed walk on the Vaarinnevankeidas wooded mire near Jämi in Jämijärvi, on the southern fringe of the Hämeenkangas ridge landscape. The trail is about 2.1 km on our map; Jämijärvi’s Jämi outdoor pages describe a 2.8 km circular family route with only a metre of climb and publish a WGS84 start point beside the parking area. The Finnish Environment Institute lists the wider Hämeenkangas Natura 2000 site that includes this mire among Finland’s protected bog and dune habitats. Leave the car at Portintienhaarankulma P-paikka, Vaarinnevankeidas, then follow the short sandy forest link toward the mire edge before the duckboard loop climbs onto the small wooded raised bog. Instead of classic trail boards, Kankaanpää School of Art students have placed sensory artworks meant especially for children but interesting for adults as well—Retkipaikka’s visit write-up walks through cotton grass, sundew, and the midway rest islet beside the boards. Tables and benches sit at the bog edge and halfway around; there is no campfire site, so bring snacks rather than expecting a grill. The route is not marketed as barrier-free. Vaarinnevankeidas sits among ancient dune fields that record former Baltic shorelines, a story Jämi ties to the Lauhanvuori–Hämeenkangas UNESCO Global Geopark context in shorter sight texts. In winter, independent bloggers note there is no track maintenance on the mire boards, so treat snow visits as optional and check local news if unsure. The ski and fitness trail network Jämin kuntoladut passes the same parking pocket on Kyrönkankaantie, so Jämi visitors sometimes combine a short ski outing with this nature loop when the season allows. Jämijärvi is the home municipality in Satakunta for practical planning.

Length & route

The trail is about 2.1 km as mapped here. Jämi materials describe an easy circular walk of 2.8 km total with only about one metre of ascent and descent, including roughly half a kilometre of forest track from Portintienhaarankulma P-paikka before the raised-bog boardwalk. Retkipaikka measures about 1.5 km of duckboards on the open mire after that approach and quotes about 2.7 km for the full outing. Treat the art installations and continuous boardwalk as the route’s markings rather than classic colour blazes.

Getting there

Motorists normally aim for Vaarinnevankeidas beside Kyrönkankaantie 1174, 38800 Jämijärvi; Jämi publishes WGS84 coordinates 61.758685, 22.739831 as the route start next to the renewed parking area. Our stop list names Portintienhaarankulma P-paikka, Vaarinnevankeidas at the trailhead. Retkipaikka’s map pin used Kyrönkankaantie 1156 for the same parking pocket—street numbering can differ slightly between services, so favour the Jämi coordinates if navigation is unclear. Public transport is impractical: the nearest bus stop is on the order of ten kilometres away in Jämijärvi village.

Good to know

Stay on the duckboards to protect the mire peat and leave no litter. Open fires are not provided along the art trail. Dogs are not discussed on every page—default to leashing and avoid disturbing ground-nesting birds in late spring. In ski season, expect winter visitors on Jämin kuntoladut sharing the same road approach. There is no dedicated YouTube overview that clearly focuses on this exact boardwalk; rely on the official page and still photographs from hikers if you want a preview.
