Hiking & outdoor recreationLength4,7 km
Uuronreitti leads to a gorge valley, whose untouched nature and unique species from its surroundings charm nature lovers time and time again. It is worth reserving half a day for the trip to the cool fern groves and streams babbling among the boulders. The terrain of Kolvananuuro is difficult to traverse because the bottom of the gorge is rocky and the elevation differences are significant. The stones can also be very slippery.
Circle trailThe recommended direction of travel is clockwise.
Campfire siteAlways check for any wildfire warnings in effect before making a fire.
No winter maintenance
Dry toiletRemember to bring toilet paper.

The route can be started from the parking areas of Matovaara (west of Kolvananuuro) or Uuronvaara (east side). From the Matovaara parking area, it is 2 km to the Uuronreitti loop trail, and from the Uuronvaara parking area, it is 1 km. The route is marked in the terrain with orange paint marks.
When arriving from the direction of Uuronvaara, you first descend a rather steep hill down to the bottom of the gorge. The connecting route reaches the actual Uuronreitti Trail loop just before Pieni Koirilampi. When circling clockwise, choose the left direction. The path leads past the pond towards the bottom of the gorge. The route runs through occasionally difficult rocky terrain all the way to the end of the gorge, where you turn right and climb up steep uphill.
After climbing up, you walk for a while along the right edge of the gorge, which the route follows for some distance. So you can admire the scenery both from the edge and the bottom of the gorge. Soon the path merges into an old roadbed. From the roadbed, the route turns right and becomes a path again. Soon you will reach a campfire site, which is located on the slope of a hill at the edge of the forest. After the campfire site, you reach the starting point of Uuronreitti north of Koirilampi, from where it is still 1 km to the Uuronvaara parking area.
