Starting pointHautajärvi parking area
The trail is an out-and-back route with a total length of 1 kilometres.
The trail is half a kilometre in length and leads you through a light filled pine forest, offers you a glimpse of mire scenery, and takes you to the Rytiniva campfire shelter.
The terrain is mainly flat: there are no holes, obstacles or major gradients on the trail. The length of the trail and the rough crushed rock surface of the path make travelling alone difficult for wheelchair users, which is why they need an assistant
Follow the same trail back to the starting point.
