Miehinkäinen Nature Trail is easier than the Talkoovuoret trail, and runs mainly through wetland. The birdwatching tower is great for viewing birds nesting and resting on Lake Miehinkäinen.
We urge hikers to take extra care in wet conditions as the cliffs and the part can be slippery. The lichen-covered cliffs can be easily damaged by footfall, so hikers are kindly asked to show consideration towards the delicate species and keep to the paths.
The terrain on Talkoovuoret Nature Trail is difficult in places, although the steepest uphills and downhills are fitted with stairs. Signposts directing to the nature trail start from Kintaudentie. The nature trail car park is signposted from the address Kaijantie 562. The route is marked with blue paint markings.
The combined distance of the trails is 3 km. It is possible to take the trails separately (1,5 km / trail). Allow a total of 2–3 hours to complete both trails. There is a lean-to shelter and campfire place, where the paths cross. There is a birdwatching tower along Miehinkäinen Nature Trail.
