The Kalajan Kierros hiking trail is suitable for hikers in good physical condition. The elevation differences along the trail offer rewarding views at the top of Kalajanvuori Hill. The trail passes through an old-growth forest, where giant aspens grow. There are nature trail information boards along the trail that present the nature and history of the area.
