Metsähallitus publishes this raised-bog lake access route as Kauhalammi, vaativa esteetön reitti on Luontoon.fi under Kauhaneva–Pohjankangas National Park(1). Retkeile Lakeuksilla outlines practical services: from Salomaa parking the demanding accessible leg is a linear path roughly 1.3 km one way into the heart of the Kauhalammi kettle-hole mire toward the lake shore, with an accessible nature viewing platform and accessible dry toilet along the way; the tread is about one metre wide and stroller access is mentioned for this segment(2). Visit Suupohja situates the national park on the medieval Kyrönkangas travel corridor and notes a short accessible plank spur from the Salomaa rest area toward a viewing terrace at the mire edge, while reminding that the narrow duckboards on the wider Kauhalammi walking circuit are not suited for mobility impairments(4). Karvia lies in South Ostrobothnia on the Satakunta side of the park; this route is the comfortable way to reach Kauhalammi’s open water and bird-filled bog without using the main boardwalk loop. The trail is about 1.9 km as mapped. Near the start you soon reach the Salomaa cluster—Salomaan esteetön taukopaikka, Salomaa tulentekopaikka, Salomaa kaivo, and picnic space among pine—about half a kilometre from Salomaa P-paikka. From there the wide tread continues toward Kauhalammi uimalaituri and Kauhalammi levähdyspaikka läntinen laituri for swimming and lakeside breaks, while Kauhanevan luontotorni, Nummikangas tulentekopaikka, and Nummikangas kaivo sit a short detour away near the Nummikangas parking side used by the full circuit. Retkipaikka’s Jonna Saari describes leaving rubber boots on for the first forest metres, then rolling along a wheelchair-suitable deck to a scenic picnic table at Kauhalammi before the narrow duckboards of the classic ring begin—useful grounding if you plan to combine this accessible spur with Kauhaneva hiking trails (Kauhalammi circuit)(3). Lauhanvuori–Hämeenkangas UNESCO Global Geopark highlights the Kauhalammi circuit among flagship hikes and notes a wheelchair-friendly plank section on the medieval Kyrönkangas road alignment for the wider ring, underlining how engineered access sits inside a fragile mire landscape(5). Dogs, fires, and camping follow Kauhaneva–Pohjankangas National Park rules—confirm seasonal fire warnings before you light a campfire.
