Description

For trail layout, parking, accessibility, and the city-managed campfire circle around Kerava’s largest pond, start with the outdoor trails and hiking sites material published by the City of Kerava. The Vantaa and Kerava wellbeing services county gives the same trail index plus short reminders on everyman’s rights, campfire rules, firewood, and who to contact if something needs fixing. The trail is about 0.6 km in eastern Kerava’s Ahjo outdoor area. Ollilanlampi is Kerava’s biggest pond; together with the peat bogs (nevat) on its north side it forms a compact nature stop that still feels surprisingly wild for an urban fringe site. A wide duckboard path runs between the pond and the northern mire and ties into the surrounding forest path network, so you can add distance on softer footpaths if you want more than the boardwalk circuit. The nature trail around the pond is promoted as barrier-free: City of Kerava describes broad duckboards and gentle terrain suitable for wheelchairs and strollers. You can also reach the shore by walking the local sawdust running track that serves the broader Ahjo–Keinukallio sports belt. In that same block, our map links nearby facilities such as Keravan Ahjon luistelukenttä, Ahjon koripallokenttä, Ahjon tekonurmikenttä, and Sorsakorven päiväkodin liikuntasali—useful landmarks if you arrive on foot from school or sports errands. When you are ready for a longer workout, Keinukallion kuntorata, Ahjon kuntorata, Ahjon latu, and Keinukallion latu branch out from the same recreation cluster with lit tracks and forest loops. Kerava maintains picnic fireplaces at Haukkavuori, Ollilanlampi, and Keinukallio with woodsheds; firewood is for visitors but the city warns that stocks are not guaranteed and refills can lag. Lighting fires is only allowed when no forest fire warning is in force. Readers planning a grill stop can cross-check the pair of Ollilanlampi campfire listings aggregated on Nuotiopaikat.fi for a map pin near Saviniementie.

Length & route

The trail is about 0.6 km on our map as a short walk around Ollilanlampi. Between the pond and the peat bog to the north, City of Kerava describes a duckboard trail that continues into the wider forest path network, which is the easiest way to stretch the outing beyond the immediate boardwalk loop.

Getting there

Ollilanlampi sits in eastern Kerava’s Ahjo outdoor area. City of Kerava directs drivers to the Keupirtti farmyard lot at Saviniementie 5: from Vanha Lahdentie turn onto Talmantie, then take the first junction north toward the farmyard. A smaller parking pocket lies right beside the pond if you continue farther along Talmantie. You may also arrive on foot via the local sawdust running track. Nuotiopaikat.fi places the listed campfire cluster near coordinates 60.395169, 25.136323 with Saviniementie 5 as the referenced address line.

Good to know

Targeted YouTube searches did not surface a clip that clearly showcases only this 0.6 km boardwalk; rely on the municipal pages for planning instead. Follow City of Kerava guidance on forest fire warnings and firewood availability before lighting a fire. Report empty woodsheds or maintenance issues through the city environment customer service channel noted on the same pages.
