Allow about one to two hours as a relaxed day hike including time at Takalan laavu and the Kattila shore; Markkanen logged roughly 90 minutes for a return walk from Kattila in heavy spring snow.
Est. Time
Mostly wide, well-maintained forest trail with a small bridge over Myllypuro; short road crossings appear near Salmi, and winter or spring thaws can leave icy patches on slopes until the path dries.
