Description

For current listings of local trails, lit routes, and seasonal maintenance in Joutseno and the wider city, start with the City of Lappeenranta’s exercise paths and hiking pages. Visit Lappeenranta’s hiking guide helps you place short walks in the wider Lake Saimaa and E10 context. The South Karelia Hiking site rounds out trip ideas elsewhere in the province. Kiukkaanlammen reitti is about 2.8 km as a hiking trail in Lappeenranta’s Joutseno area, South Karelia. It is not a loop. The path runs through forest and pond scenery toward Kiukkaanlammen laavu, which sits about 2.25 km from the start—natural pause point for a meal by the fire or a rest before returning or continuing. At the lean-to, the trail meets the Myllymäki–Katralampi circuit and the Joutseno centre–Myllymäki E10 corridor, so you can stitch this segment into longer day hikes toward Katralampi or Myllymäki. In winter, Kiukkaanlammen hiihtolatu follows the same shoreline as a groomed ski trail; check municipal pages for grooming and any detours. A Suomi.fi service listing for Kiukkaanlammen retkeilyreitti summarises the lean-to as a place for snacks or overnight use, open around the clock. Some municipal text refers to a longer Kiukkaanlampi recreation network in the same forest; the hiking segment on our map is about 2.8 km. Hito Hyvät Uutiset toured Lappeenranta’s lean-tos and calls Kiukkaanlammen laavu “Leijonalaavu”, noting esker and suppa terrain and quiet pond views in the Joutseno forests. Lappeenranta is the city that includes Joutseno. South Karelia is known for Lake Saimaa, mixed forest, and dense local trail networks.

Length & route

The hiking trail is about 2.8 km. It is not a loop. Allow roughly 45–75 minutes on foot at an easy pace, longer if you stop at Kiukkaanlammen laavu. Municipal service text sometimes describes a longer Kiukkaanlampi recreation network in the same area; the segment on our map is the shorter walk at about 2.8 km. Winter skiers use Kiukkaanlammen hiihtolatu along the shore—check grooming on city pages in season.

Getting there

The trail lies in Joutseno east of central Lappeenranta, in the Myllymäki–Kiukkaanlampi forest block. Drivers often aim for roads near Myllymäki ski and recreation facilities or roadside pull-offs along local forest roads, then walk in; exact signed parking varies by season—confirm access on the City of Lappeenranta outdoor pages. Independent trip write-ups mention leaving a car along Vilkkumäentie or near Myllymäen hiihtokeskus and walking a few kilometres to the lean-to area—treat as informal local knowledge, not a substitute for current municipal guidance. Broader PDF maps and regional ideas appear on Visit Lappeenranta and the South Karelia Hiking site.

Good to know

Hunting seasons affect forests in rural South Karelia; wear high-visibility colours where advised. The route shares the shoreline with winter ski tracks; respect skiers and any seasonal closures. Dog rules for this exact segment are not spelled out in the sources used—follow local signs.
