Description:
Lakes and scenic forests dominate the northern part of Liesjärvi National Park. One can easily spend half day or longer on the Peukaloisenpolku Trail – possibly even overnight there enjoying the landscape. The trail is one of the longest accessible trails in Southern Finland. At the end of the year 2020, the trail was almost ready. The trail is demanding – as it features a few points with inclinations, so assitance is needed for visitors in wheelchairs.
The trail begins at Peukalampi parking lot. When travelling clockwise, the first strecth (1,5 km) follows a 2,5 m wide graveled road. This strech ends at Tittilampi, which is a rental campsite with accessible service for groups; a hut, a dry toilet and a fire pit.
Tittilampi trail continues along a 2,5 m wide graveled road for another 800 m until a rest area called Kaksvetinen. An accessible campfire place, a Lapp hut and a dry toilet are situated beside a beautiful lake. Staying overnight is an option in the Lapp hut, as is lighting a campfire during a forest fire alarm.
The stretch of trail from Kaksvetinen to the rest area by Peukalolammi is 1,2 km long and at least 1,2 m wide. Beautiful forests surround you the whole way. At Peukalolammi the accessible campfire place and toilet are situated on top of the small hill. From there, the trail follows a 2,5 m wide road to the parking lot. The length of this section is 600 m. The narrowest point on the trail is at the end beside a roadblock; 1,2 m.
Accessibility
How to get there: Coming from Helsinki, 17 km before the city of Forssa, turn right from Route 2 onto Kanteluksentie Road. Follow this road for 5.8 kilometres and turn left onto Katavalammintie Road. After driving 300 metres, you will find the parking lot.
