Kaiskunniemi Nature Trail

This easy route leads you on to the Kaiskunniemi ridge, a unique environment where this narrow 2 km long ridge lays in Lake Pielinen. The trail is technically easy and marked clearly with blue trail markers.

A unique part or this trail is that depending on tha water lavels of the lake, sometimes you migh have to cross a short section through water. This might happen especially in the beginning of the summer season, although the past 2 years this section has been dry througout the summer.

Kaiskunniemi invites to sit down for a break to take in the nature, as it offers a fireplace and a dry toilet available on the trail.

If you plan on making a fire on the fireplace, remember to check the Wildfire warning status before you head out: https://en.ilmatieteenlaitos.fi/warnings . If the wildfire warning is active, lighting campfires is not allowed.

There is no public transport to this trail. Local taxi can be ordered here: https://www.kolintaksi.fi/en Free parking at the starting point of the trail.

From the trailhead follow the trail markings with blue colour.

We recommend outdoor activity shoes like sturdy hiking shoes or trainers, there are some rocky parts on the route although generally easy going. Warm clothing is recommended especially towards the autumn time, it often gets windy by the lake here.

Easy - possible without preparation.
