Noronniemi Nature Trail is about 5 km as a loop on the Noronniemi peninsula at Lake Haapajärvi in Virtasalmi, part of Pieksämäki in South Savo. Metsähallitus publishes the trail on Luontoon.fi as the national outdoor listing for this route(1). Visit Pieksämäki describes the municipality as a varied lake district with hundreds of lakes and points visitors to Sport Pieksämäki for route indexes and practical outdoor information(2). Sport Pieksämäki’s hiking and mountain biking route hub is the municipal place to cross-check other marked trails and service updates in the same area(3). The circuit follows forested shoreline and higher ground typical of the South Savo drumlin and lake landscape. Lean-tos and official campfire points are not highlighted for this path in the materials consulted, so bring what you need for breaks and carry waste out. A long-distance kayaking route, Majavareitti melontareitti, runs along the same broader shoreline system; paddlers may pass nearby while hikers stay on the foot trail. Footing is uneven forest path in places; wear sturdy shoes and expect roots and short ups and downs. After rain, sections near the shore can stay damp.

For rest spots, boardwalks, birdlife, and fishing permits on Tahinlampi, the Tahinlampi area guide on Vedenjakajareitistö(1) is the best official starting point. Sport Pieksämäki links to the trail map, PDF route brochures, parking lists, and distances from Pieksämäki railway station(2). Yle’s report on the Vedenjakaja network quotes the city describing Tahinsuo’s boardwalk mire beside the centre and notes that the Tahinsuo circuit starts from the swimming beach(3). Retkipaikka’s Luontopolkumies walk around Tahinlampi adds practical detail on wide blue markers on posts, renewed boardwalks, and how closely the path follows the shore(4). The trail is about 2.6 km as a loop on our map. It sits in Pieksämäki in South Savo on the regional watershed divide, inside the roughly 75 km Vedenjakaja outdoor network that links Partaharju, Nikkarila, and the Tahinsuo mire. The route is an easy day hike: mostly duckboards and forest paths around open bog and Tahinlampi, with views into spruce mire that feels surprisingly remote so close to town(1)(3). Along the line you pass Tahinlampi Kalastuspaikka and Tahinlammen uimaranta—popular for fishing and a swim after the walk(1). From shared junctions you can continue onto Jänisvuoren kierros for a longer fell-and-mire loop, walk the shorter Tahinlammen kierros along the lake shore, or use Nikkarila-Tahinsuo yhdysreitti toward Kukkarojärvi; that connector passes wilderness huts such as Mustonen-Kypäräkangas and Kukkarojärven itäranta on nearby routes.

MTB Tuoppu is a technical forest loop of about 6.5 km around Tuopunkangas near Pieksämäki in South Savo, tied into the wider Vedenjakaja trail network. The dedicated MTB Tuoppu page on Vedenjakajareitistö(1) describes it as the most demanding mountain-bike line in that system: rocky ground, wetland crossings, and lines that expect solid bike-handling and a proper mountain bike rather than a city hybrid. The same source places the recommended car park at P18 on Naiskankaantie 315 (about five spaces and a picnic table) and notes you can also reach the loop by bike from Nikkarila and Partaharju along the Nikkarila–Tuoppu connector. Sport Pieksämäki’s Vedenjakaja hub(2) collects PDF route summaries, parking sheets, map-legends, maintenance contacts, rental partners, and distances from Pieksämäki station to network gateways—useful when you plan how to reach the forest. Along the ring, official copy highlights two rest clusters: at Pikonniemi (guide-map point 18) a laavu, fire place, picnic table, and dry toilet; Kotiniemi (point 19) adds a second break spot with shelter and fire, plus a table in the field instructions(1). Network etiquette from the programme FAQ(4) is worth noting before you go: cyclists may use hiking routes and walkers may use bike routes, markings simply steer people onto the most sensible tread, and pushing through awkward steps is normal when the rocks or bogs bite. The FAQ also reminds riders that MTB Tuoppu specifically rewards experience where gentler loops such as MTB Nikkarila stay rolling on lighter bikes, and it welcomes the route as a walking circuit too when you want to move on foot. If you want to stitch rides together, the mapped line meets the same network’s Mtb Ukonkangas loop and aligns with the Nikkarila-Tuoppu yhdysreitti walking connector that vehicles the Nikkarila approach(1). A long user trace on Jälki.fi for the whole Pieksämäki Vedenjakaja collection praises how completely the trails are marked and how easy it is for newcomers to keep bearings while stronger riders can hold speed—helpful background even though that log blends many segments, not Tuoppu alone(5). For hardware, Kesport Kovanen in central Pieksämäki advertises about ten maintained fatbikes for rent, about €40 per day, with trail maps sold in the shop(3); Sport Pieksämäki additionally lists Crossfit Pieksämäki fatbike hire and Sagatrails for guided MTB if you want instruction or a packaged day(2). Trail upkeep and fuel-wood issues on the network go through PS-liikunta per the programme FAQ(4).
