Ketunlenkki is the most popular trail in Repovesi. It combines the key elements of the national park: sheltered lakes, steep cliffs, and excellent hiking structures. From the Lapinsalmi bridge, you can enjoy magnificent views, and the hand-operated Ketunlossi ferry adds a touch of adventure to the hike. The popular circular route is ideal for family outings. However, there are short staircases and uneven sections along the way. The trail is fully accessible only from spring to autumn when Ketunlossi is in operation. You can also combine the route with a visit to the beautiful Katajavuori, which adds 1.5 km and over 200 steps. Ketunlossi is not in operation during winter. When the ferry is out of service, Ketunlenkki cannot be completed in its entirety. The strait is swift, and it should not be crossed on ice. We provide updates on the ferry's operation on the Repovesi National Park's What's New page.

The Lapinsalmi Bridge in Repovesi National Park has been closed

The Lapinsalmi Bridge in Repovesi National Park has been closed indefinitely since January 2024. The Lapinsalmi parking area and the Riippusillantie leading to it will not be plowed during the winter season 2024-2025. For this reason, Repovesi National Park can only be accessed in winter via the Tervajärvi and Saarijärvi parking areas. In the spring, when the Ketunlossi ferry is launched, the trails will again be accessible from Lapinsalmi. This will be announced on the National Park's What's New page. We will inform you as soon as the bridge is reopened, but the exact date is not yet known.
