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.
