Description

Rävberget brisk loop is a short marked circuit on the southwest shore of the Kopparnäs peninsula in Inkoo, inside the Kopparnäs-Störsvik recreation and nature reserve that Uusimaa Recreation Area Association co-manages with Metsähallitus. For wording of this exact loop, orange tree markings, multi-use sharing with cyclists, and winter maintenance of roads and parking, the association’s Kopparnäs-Störsvik route notes are the place to start. Luontoon.fi presents the same reserve for readers who prefer Metsähallitus destination pages. The circuit lies in Inkoo in Uusimaa; the City of Inkoo’s virkistysalueet overview links onward to UUVI and Metsähallitus for service updates. Degerby.fi reminds visitors that rare woodlarks nest on the open rocks in May and June, so dogs should stay leashed on the wider headland. UUVI describes the loop as climbing through forest onto Rävberget’s scenic rock, then dropping to the outer shoreline, following the water until it returns toward Bergudden’s rest area, and finishing with gravel path and road near the large Bergudden parking. Practically, that means a compact tour of the peninsula’s famous silicate cliffs: you soon reach Bergudden parkkipaikka on Kallioniemi, where wide path reaches Bergudden - esteetön tulipaikka, Berguddenin Esteetön katos and Berguddenin avotulipaikka cluster with shelter space for food breaks; dry toilets serve the same stopping place. A level viewing platform above the water sits a few dozen metres from parking and is built around older shore defence masonry—easy to combine with the accessible cooking shelters when you want a low-effort visit to the cliffs. From there the foot line narrows onto coastal bedrock for roughly half a kilometre beside the Baltic, sharing views with anglers and sea birds. Near one junction the path meets Kopparnäs kustrutt; a second fire ring sits a few dozen metres along that coastal circuit if you prefer an open-flame stop closer to the shore. After turning inland the route climbs Rävberget’s open rock, uses flights of steps to reach the north side, crosses more gently sloping bedrock and slips through mixed spruce–birch–aspen forest before closing back toward Kopparnäs road parking. Around the Rävberget service band you pass Rävberget parkkipaikka, Parking Rävberget, Rävberget keittokatos and Östervikin keittokatos, plus Kopparnäs - veneenlaskupaikka if you arrive from the sea; Klobbackan parkkipaikka supports Klobbackan kierros a little farther east. Retkipaikka’s walk took about forty minutes counter-clockwise with photo stops and rated the loop moderate mainly because wet rock is slick, even though elevation gain is small. Runners and day hikers share the same marked network with cyclists, so riders should ease the pace where sight lines shorten. If you want a longer day, add Kopparnäs kustrutt toward Långmossaberget, tie in Österviken - Sanfjärden -rantareitti, or beach-walk Brändöskatans bulevard from Sandfjärden without repeating this cliff ring.

Length & route

The trail is about 1.5 km as one loop on our map. The Uusimaa Recreation Area Association lists the same circuit at about 1.6 km in its route roster.

Getting there

UUVI places the primary start–finish at Bergudden’s large lot beside Kallioniemi 21, with explanatory boards and maps at the trailhead. A bigger apron on Kopparnäsintie about 300 m away adds capacity when the inner lot fills. Buses run to Degerby; expect several more kilometres by bike or on foot to reach Bergudden. Roads and parking areas are plowed in winter. The City of Inkoo’s virkistysalueet page points planners to UUVI for the latest parking instructions.

Good to know

Open fires only at signed fireplaces; during forest-fire warnings all burning stops. Keep dogs leashed reserve-wide, especially May–June on nesting rocks. Firewood service continues in winter together with plowed access. Wet bedrock can be very slippery—footwear with grip matters.

History

UUVI’s wider Kopparnäs story notes test wind-turbine foundations still visible on southern rocks, Soviet-era fires that reset much of the mainland forest, and the transfer of Kopparnäs blocks to UUVI and Metsähallitus care—context for why the headland mixes young woods with open cliff. Retkipaikka adds that a future wind- and solar-assisted public grill at Rävberget will reuse footings from Finland’s first grid-connected wind test in 1968, visible near the picnic upgrade site.
