Luontoon.fi – Haukkavuori Route (Kuhankuono hiking trail network)+

Description

For planning and the latest route-specific notes, use the Haukkavuori Route page maintained by the Kuhankuono hiking trail association, together with the Haukkavuoren reitti entry on Luontoon.fi from Metsähallitus. The City of Pöytyä also summarises the wider Kuhankuono network and trailheads on its outdoor recreation pages. Haukkavuori Route is about 9.9 km as mapped here: an easy day hike between the Haukkavuori outdoor sports area in Riihikoski and the Kurjenpesä service area at the edge of Kurjenrahka National Park. At the Haukkavuori end you pass the outdoor gym, the Haukkavuori day hut, the disc golf course, and the long fitness stairs before the path heads west through duckboard sections across raised bogs, rocky pine islets, and stretches of forest road in production forest. About halfway, Korppisaari campfire site and the Honkasaari lean-to sit a short side-trip off the main path—convenient for lunch or an overnight if you reserve space and follow campfire rules. Allow roughly three hours one way in dry conditions, or about four hours there and back with breaks; after heavy rain, rubber boots are the safer footwear choice. At Kurjenpesä the same cluster of services appears on several connecting trails: Kurkela rental hut, the Kurjenpesä tent camping area, a cooking shelter and woodshed, Koivuniemen yleisösauna, Koivuniemi Rantamökki, the Kurjenpesä pier, and Kurjenpesän pysäköintialue for drivers finishing here. From Kurjenpesä you can continue on the wider Kuhankuono retkeilyreitistö network, the short link Yhdysreitti Kurjenportti - Savojärven kierros, Savojärvi kierros around the lake, or the accessible Karpalopolku routes—Retkipaikka's Kurjenrahka guide gives a readable overview of the national park setting and how Kurjenpesä fits into it. You must cross busy Säkyläntie between western and eastern access points; treat it as a road crossing, not a quiet forest track. The route is not maintained for winter hiking.

Length & route

The trail is about 9.9 km as one continuous hiking line on our map. Published descriptions often round the distance to roughly 10–11 km depending on how the association measures the line. Allow about three hours of walking one way in normal summer conditions, or at least four hours for a return hike with breaks.

Getting there

Western access: Kurjenpesä parking at Kuhankuonontie 70, Pöytyä (coordinates given on the association page). Eastern access: Haukkavuori sports area at Haukkavuorentie 43, Riihikoski—outdoor gym, day hut, disc golf, and fitness stairs start from this side. Alternative parking at Kurjenportti on Säkyläntie is also listed. Public transport: Föli summer service to the Kuhankuono stop near the western trailhead, or Matkahuolto stops Kuhankuono P/E and Riihikoski th P/E with a short walk to the eastern end.

Good to know

Crane habitat and raised-bog nature are part of why Kurjenrahka draws visitors; wolves also occur in the wider landscape—normal national-park and countryside awareness applies. Firewood availability at lean-tos can vary; check current rules on the association or Luontoon.fi pages before relying on a fire.
