Description
Jorinsatama Trail is a short point-to-point hike of about 1.7 km in Savonlinna, South Savo. It links the Tervastupa recreation cluster on Pihlajaniemi with Koivukanta harbour (Jori Hokkasen satama) at the shore of Pihlajavesi, where the route meets the Moskunpolku trail and the Koivukanta cable ferry. For the wider Pihlajaniemi trail network, seasonal services at Tervastupa, and other walking options in the region, Visit Savonlinna is a practical place to start.
You begin in the same service area as Tervastuvan sauna, Tervastuvan uimaranta, Tervastupa wilderness hut, Tervastuvan Avanto winter swimming, and Tervaskota: a compact shore and forest pocket where families often pause before longer loops. Visit Savonlinna describes Pihlajaniemi winter recreation trails with Tervastupa as the car-accessible hub, a campfire spot, laavu, and a volunteer-run trail café on winter weekends. Itä-Savo’s reporting on the Pihlajaniemi network notes renewed field signage and a new nature trail aimed at families starting from Tervastupa, with Soininmäki heritage forest as a highlight of the wider route system.
The trail runs roughly southeast toward Koivukanta. At the harbour end you pass Koivukanta (Jori Hokkasen satama) GrilliKatos and arrive beside Koivukanta Lossi 191, the cable ferry across the Koivukanta sound. Finferries lists the crossing length at 721 metres and places the ferry stop on Pihlajaniementie in Savonlinna. Veneilysaimaa describes Koivukanta as a Metsähallitus-owned recreation harbour maintained by Pidä Saaristo Siistinä ry, with road access, trailer ramp, grill shelter, campfire, waste point, and an accessible dry toilet; the site notes that the ferry runs around the clock and can be audible on still summer nights.
From Koivukanta you can continue on Moskunpolku, stitch in Suurijärvi Lake Loop, Laavujen kierros, or the Aholahti–Tervastupa Trail depending on how long a day you want, all of which share parts of this shore and forest network.
Length & route
The trail is about 1.7 km on our map as one continuous shore and forest connection between the Tervastupa service cluster and Koivukanta harbour. The Koivukanta cable ferry crossing is 721 m long per Finferries.
Getting there
The mapped start sits at the Tervastupa shore facilities on Pihlajaniemi, with service addresses on Pihlajaniementie in Savonlinna. Visit Savonlinna describes Pihlajaniemi as roughly a 20-minute drive from the city centre, with Tervastupa as the main car-accessible hub for the winter trail network. Koivukanta harbour lies about 13 km by road from Savonlinna per Veneilysaimaa, and Finferries lists the ferry landing at Pihlajaniementie 847, 57810 Savonlinna. If you arrive from the water, Koivukanta is a designated recreation harbour with road access and a trailer ramp.
Good to know
Harbour services at Koivukanta include waste disposal, grill shelter, campfire, accessible dry toilet, and overnight noise from the 24-hour ferry may carry on calm nights. For current ferry timetables and service notices, check Finferries.
History
Koivukanta recreation harbour was completed on 5 October 2001 and named Koivukanta (Jori Hokkasen satama) in honour of Jori Hokkanen, then Järvi-Suomi regional manager for Pidä Saaristo Siistinä ry, when he retired; the site was also described as the first Lake Finland recreation harbour designed with accessibility in mind.
Point-to-point from the Tervastupa cluster toward Koivukanta; either direction is possible if you return the same way or loop using other Pihlajaniemi trails.
