Route description and map

Short, medium and Long trail route descriptions and route map.

There are several lean to´s places on the route, where even supporters can enjoy the rich nature of the area. Service and water points are available on medium and long routes. On the way, several dry toilets are bypassed, which you can visit if necessary. The route passes at some points close to private accommodation and holiday accommodation, which the passage has been agreed with the owners only for this race. Please respect their privacy as you navigate the route during the race or in the future. Remember to also respect other nature walkers, especially in the Liesjärvi area.

There are rocks, rhizomes and also duckboards along the way that can be very slippery so we recommend equipping cross-country/trail running shoes.
