The trail sections shared with the Pyhän jyssäys Trail are marked with wooden poles featuring green reflective tape and red reflector plates. The section around Hirsilampi is marked with red snow plowing sticks.
The trail starts uphill at the intersection of Platingintie and Petäjäkuja.
After the uphill section, the trail reaches the top of a small rise, offering a scenic view towards Pyhävaara. From the rise, the trail descends and then turns right at the junction. At this point, the Pyhän Jyssäys trail would continue straight ahead.
The trail follows the shoreline of Lake Hirsilampi for approximately 900 meters, after which it turns right and once again joins the same trail alignment as the Pyhän Jyssäys trail.
After 1 kilometer, the trail reaches a ski track. From there, it continues to the right, following alongside the ski track until the next junction.
At the junction, ski trails and snowmobile routes intersect. From the junction, the trail turns left and heads uphill.
After the uphill section, the trail turns right and arrives at Petäjäkuja. It then continues along the road to the left for about 30 meters, before turning right again and continuing for 150 meters to the parking area.
