Pysäköintialue - Pyhityksen laavu
The distance from the Pyhitys parking area to the lean-to shelter is 1.1 kilometers, and the route follows a forest road. At the shelter, you can camp or take a break. The yard area includes a toilet and a woodshed.
Pyhityksen laavu - Pyhityksen huippu
The actual ascent to the summit of Pyhitys begins at the lean-to shelter, with the trail climbing 130 meters over a distance of 900 meters. The path is challenging in places due to its steepness, rocky terrain, and exposed roots.
The summit of Pyhitys rises 422 meters above sea level and is the highest point in Syöte National Park. It offers a beautiful view over the open waters of Lake Kostonjärvi. The return to the lean-to shelter and the parking area follows the same route.
