Hiking & outdoor recreationLength4.5 km
Korpinkierros trail ("Raven's Trail) takes hikers through the impressive forest scenery of Repovesi. The rugged landscapes glimpsed from Olhavanvuori hill across Olhavanlampi Lake make the climb worthwhile. You can also step off the trail and visit Olhava lean-to shelter or campfire site close to the greatest rock climbing site in Finland, where ravens also nest.

The Korpinkierros can be started from the Olhava well. If arriving by water, the starting point is the Karhulahti campfire site, which has a boat and canoe dock. From Karhulahti, there is a one-way path of about 200 meters to the beginning of the actual circular trail.
Orange dots on trees as well as Korpinkierros symbols on signposts mark the trail. The recommended direction is clockwise, allowing you to enjoy the best scenery towards the end of the trail. One half of the trail follows gravel roads.
The first section comprises approx. 1 km of a gravel road from Olhava to Karhulahti, after which the trail follows an old and slightly overgrown forest road to the north for about 2 km.
The trail continues through a diverse mixed forest before branching off to the right and gradually climbing towards Olhavanvuori hill, where hikers will be wowed by the rocky landscapes.

The trail meanders through re-entrants, boulders and pine trees to slabs of rock from which a mosaic of forests and small lakes opens up as a great panorama in the west.
From Olhava, walkers descend back to the main road.
