Savonia University of Applied Sciences Verified partner Explorers Choice
On Tahkonmäen kierros hiking route you walk up to Tahko hill along the forest paths. Once you reach the top, you see that the scenery is worth trekking up. Forests and lakes as far as the eye can see!
The route runs on top of the slalom slopes at a height of 296 meters above sea level, before it takes you back into the forest. A lovely but partly rocky path takes you down to the Huutavanholma nature reserve. Here you will find quite a unique atmosphere. You walk in an enchanting forest and below you, a stream runs rushing through the area. There are some steep and rocky spots along the route. The flora of Huutavanholma is special and the area is protected.
Later on the route you come across Nipasen kota rest stop, a big barbecue hut on top of an old slalom slope. Again you get to admire amazing views, too. It is also possible to take a break in the dim atmosphere of the Taukotupa hut.
