Route

The trail runs clockwise around Varesvuori along a network of trails and bike paths, showcasing the diverse nature of the Nakolinna rock area through various sights. The total length of the trails is approximately 1.5 kilometers, and it takes less than an hour to complete the loop. The trail is easy to walk on and suitable for all ages, but it is not suitable for people with limited mobility, as there are some roots and stones on the trail. Signs of human activity can be seen on the trail, for example in the vegetation. Use of the site is limited to the snow-free season, as the site is not maintained in winter.

Please take any rubbish with you when you leave. Rubbish thrown into the natural environment is life-threatening to birds and other animals in the area. Lighting fires is strictly prohibited!
