Tips for a safe hiking trip in Kylmäluoma

The hiking trails in Kylmäluoma are not very demanding and lead through forest. Visitors will not need special equipment to walk or hike in the area. All the area's wetlands have duckboards. In the ridge area there are stairs up slopes and bridges crossing streams and small sounds. Visitors can wander the trails situated close to the outdoor centre wearing trainers as footwear, during dry weather. Longer treks require more thorough preparations.
All the trails are marked with paint markings on trees, but hikers should have a trailmap with them at all times. Maps are available at the reception desk for the outdoor centre.
There is a campfire hut on the shore of Lake Kylmäluomajärvi trail passing through a protected old-growth forest area. Other rest spots in the area are lean-to shelters or campfire sites. Each rest spot has a campfire site, a dry toilet and firewood (ax and saw).
The water in Kylmäluoma's lakes and streams is usually safe to drink, but water quality has not been tested. Drinking waters is at your own risk.
Make sure you pack a first-aid kit.
