Description

Puosi nature trail is about half a kilometre in Puosi, part of the Särkisalo archipelago parish in Salo, Southwest Finland. It is a short, linear forest path—handy as a micro outing when you are already in the coastal villages. For closures, conditions, and how it sits among other municipal trails, start from the City of Salo hiking and cycling trails index. Visit Salo’s regional pages highlight Särkisalo’s seashore, rocky viewpoints, and seasonal outdoor life if you are stitching this walk into a wider archipelago day. Ecologically, the wider Särkisalo cliffs fall within the Särkisalon kalliot Natura 2000 site: official habitat sheets describe vegetation-covered limestone and silicate cliffs, small patches of bore forest and swamp woodland, and a cluster of nationally threatened rock and slope species—useful background reading before you explore any cliffline nearby. This trail is only the short marked path; it does not replace on-site care near sensitive rock habitats. Boaters sometimes combine land legs with longer kayak circuits in the same municipality, such as Melontareitti Uskelanjoki–Särkisalo or Melontareitti Enäjärvi–Särkisalo, which pass through the broader Särkisalo waterscape on separate paddle lines.

Length & route

The trail is about 0.5 km as one continuous line on our map. It is not a loop: treat it as a short out-and-back along the same path. Terrain along the route is a compact forest path typical of small municipal nature trails; confirm the latest track notes locally if brush encroachment or storm damage is a concern.

Getting there

Puosi sits within Särkisalo in southern Salo. Drive via main roads toward Särkisalo village and follow local streets toward Puosi; parking details are not split out for this micro-trail on the municipal index, so leave time to locate a respectful pull-off. Visit Salo’s regional overview describes how visitors reach the archipelago parishes for a coastal stay or day trip.

Good to know

Särkisalon kalliot is partly protected under nature conservation law; stay on marked paths where they exist and follow every instruction from the land manager and Natura materials if you step beyond this short route. Pair the walk with other listed Salo nature trails or paddling plans rather than expecting lean-tos or services on this segment.
