Description

Kytömaa aspen forest is about 0.9 km of walking through a small, shaded pocket of city-owned woodland in northern Kerava, Uusimaa. For current access, parking, and how this site fits Kerava’s wider outdoor network, start with the City of Kerava’s nature trails and hiking sites pages. The same hub describes the forest patch as 4.3 hectares between the railway and Kytömaantie, with plenty of decayed wood on the ground and standing dead trees that give the place a quiet, old-wood feel. The Vantaan ja Keravan hyvinvointialue listing repeats Kerava’s guidance and lists the outing as free. Near the route start you pass local sports facilities. The Itä-Kytömaan tekonurmi, Itä-Kytömaan ulkokuntoilupaikka, and Itä-Kytömaan luistelukenttä cluster lies just east of the route; they are useful landmarks if you arrive on foot or by bike from Kytömaa’s residential streets. About 0.3 km along the line you pass the Kimalaiskedon leikkipaikka playground on Korentopolku, a handy stop for families combining a short wood walk with play equipment. The Finnish Nature Association’s Kerava group describes the grove as a very dense aspen stand mixed with spruce, so shaded that almost no field-layer vegetation grows, with abundant deadwood, many woodpecker holes in larger aspens, reverted fields on the north side, and potential—but not yet confirmed—habitat for flying squirrels under the canopy mosaic. They stress the site’s conservation value and note it is partly unexplored ecologically. If you want to extend the day, Myllypuro meander river valley is one of Kerava’s small-stream highlights a few hundred metres away; the city suggests visiting it on foot or by bike because car parking nearby is poor. In winter the same neighbourhood hosts Pihkaniityn latu for skiing and Pihkaniityn kuntorata for running—both join the Kytömaa path network at the same junction as this walk—useful if you pair a short forest stroll with a longer ski or run loop.

Length & route

The trail is about 0.9 km through the woodland. The City of Kerava describes the Kytömaa woodland pocket itself as 4.3 hectares between the railway line and Kytömaantie. Terrain inside the grove is a dense mix of aspen and spruce with heavy shade and abundant deadwood rather than open meadow.

Getting there

Turn north from Koivulantie onto Kytömaantie. The City of Kerava says a small widening on the left side of Kytömaantie is for leaving the car. The route starts near 60.424268, 25.114692. Confirm nothing has changed for winter maintenance or parking practice on the city pages.

Good to know

Dedicated YouTube searches did not surface a short overview clearly focused on this exact grove; rely on the city pages and the Finnish Nature Association Kerava article for atmosphere. The city’s listed campfire sites with woodsheds are at Haukkavuori, Ollilanlampi, and Keinukallio on the same hub—not specifically beside this pocket—follow usual forest fire warnings if you head there afterwards. Dog rules for this pocket are not spelled out on the pages reviewed; apply general responsible pet practice on city recreation land.
