City of Kirkkonummi – Linlon saari+

Description

Linlo is a compact marine recreation island between Porkkalanniemi and Upinniemi. This hike is about 1.6 km one way from the harbour parking toward Linlon eteläinen keittokatos at the lagoon-like south shore, with Laguunin laituri, Laguunin grillimaja, and Laguunin kiinnityspoijut right beside the same cluster. Kirkkonummi is an easy day trip from the Helsinki area, and the island sits mostly inside the Natura 2000 network apart from its northern tip. For shelter names, firewood service at the municipal cooking shelters, the PDF guide map of shelters, and the guest harbour link, the City of Kirkkonummi Linlon saari page is the best official starting point. UUVI, the association for Uusimaa recreation areas, summarises island access, dogs-on-leash rules, berry and mushroom picking, and practical services from the marina onward. You cross the pedestrian bridge from Linlon satama and almost immediately pass Linlon Esteetön tulipaikka, the accessible campfire beside the bridge on the island side—UUVI notes the bridge and this campfire as accessible, while most other paths stay narrow, rocky, and stepped. A few hundred metres in, Linlon Pohjoinen keittokatos and the Linlo WC pair sit close together on the main approach. About 0.9 km out, the line reaches Linlon läntinen keittokatos on the west shore; the same kilometre also carries Linlon reitti läntiselle keittokatokselle and connects to The shortcut of Linlo if you want a shorter loop variant back toward the lagoon. From there the path continues south toward the water and the sheltered “lagoon” corner where Linlon eteläinen keittokatos, Laguunin grillimaja, and Laguunin laituri give you table space, a meal by the water, and a seasonally popular birdwatching outlook toward nearby islets. Colour-painted municipal trails crisscross the island; Retkipaikka’s updated walking notes tie the red-marked line to the southern cooking shelter and south-tip views—helpful if you want to match ground markings with the shelter names on our map. Outdoor Family’s Linlo article stresses steep west-shore cliffs and small caves—worth knowing if you walk with children near the western keittokatos. Dry toilets sit near several nodes; see our pages for Linlo WC, Linlon WC, Laguunin WC, and the official notices on site for opening hours.

Length & route

The trail is about 1.6 km one way on our map from the harbour side to the south cooking shelter and lagoon facilities. The full island tour linked in municipal materials is longer—visitor write-ups often quote roughly 6 km if you circle every marked branch—but this researched segment is only the southern arm ending at Linlon eteläinen keittokatos and the Laguuni cluster.

Getting there

By car, aim for Linlontie 112, 02480 Kirkkonummi at Linlo guest harbour. Linlon parkkipaikka sits with the harbour; walk the pedestrian bridge onto the island—the same address and parking arrangement UUVI and local bloggers describe for Linlo visits. The trail starts from the bridgehead cluster toward Linlon eteläinen keittokatos.

Good to know

Dogs must stay on leash across the island. Fires belong in designated shelters and fireplaces; Kirkkonummi supplies firewood maintenance for the municipal cooking shelters. Marina operations are separate from the hiking maintenance—Satamayhdistys-Linlo Marina ry runs the guest harbour. Check the municipal PDF map and on-site boards before relying on winter conditions or temporary closures.
