Kuhankuono hiking trails – Vajosuo hike+

Description

For route options, overnight laavut, water points, parking coordinates, and seasonal notes on the full Vajosuo hike, start with the Kuhankuono hiking trail network’s Vajosuo hike page. The City of Mynämäki summarises the wider Kuhankuono network—roughly 170 km of trails on about 11,000 hectares, built for summer hiking, mountain biking, and general outdoor use, with links to the association’s site. Metsähallitus lists the long Vajosuo mire hike in the Kurjenrahka area on Luontoon.fi. This route is about 10.5 km point-to-point from near Takaniitunvuoren nuotiopaikka—where the Pukkipalo routes meet the network—toward the Vajosuo service cluster at the southern end. That makes it a practical day section of the roughly 30 km Vajosuo hike ring described by the association, and it matches how trip reports move from Takaniitunvuori’s rocky forest sections toward Vajosuo’s mire and tower. Near the start, Takaniitunvuoren nuotiopaikka is a natural first break with a campfire ring. After roughly 10.5 km you reach the Vajosuo end area: Vajosuon nuotiokehä for cooking, Vajosuon vuokratupa (rental hut, seasonal), Vajosuon keittokatos, dry toilets by the wood shed and rental-hut shelter, and Vajosuon luontotorni on Vajosuontie for views over the mire—good for cranes and other wetland birds in season. The same junction links to Pukkipalo luontopolku and the longer Pukkipalo reitti past Lakjärvi laavut and Savojärvi, and to Vajosuo reitti/Vajosuon reitti loops around the Vajosuo parking and shelters. Marking on the wider network uses orange ribbons with blue or white point symbols depending on ring versus link trails.

Length & route

The trail is about 10.5 km point-to-point, linking the Takaniitunvuori campfire area with the Vajosuo service cluster. The Kuhankuono association describes the full Vajosuo hike as nearly 30 km and a two-day trip for many walkers, with duckboards on mire sections and little elevation change.

Getting there

The association lists practical trailheads for the full Vajosuo hike: Rantapiha (Savojärventie 103, Nousiainen), Kurjenpesä (Kuhankuonontie 70, Pöytyä), Vajosuo parking (Lavamäentie 832, Rusko), and Töykkälä (Vällintie 305, Rusko), with Föli and Matkahuolto options in season. For this segment, walkers typically join near Pukkipalo/Rantapiha or Vajosuo parking depending on direction; the City of Mynämäki points to the network site for detail.

Good to know

No winter maintenance on trails; main parking areas may still be ploughed in snowy winters. On wet autumn days, footwear with more ankle support and waterproofing is safer than light trainers on duckboards and roads. Drinking water is available seasonally at Kurjenpesä and Rantapiha on the long ring; check the association’s updates if you rely on those taps.
