The nature trail diverts from the cycling lane, goes clockwise around Varesvuori, and returns to the starting point.

Guidance: There is a signpost to Nakolinna at the beginning of the cycling lane starting from Meriniitynkatu.
At the start of the nature trail, there is an information board about the route. The trail is marked in the terrain with swan symbols, which also contain numbers for the attractions along the nature trail. A guide is also available about the nature trail. It describes the cultural history of Nakolinna, for example, as the site where the Halikko treasure was found.

Route: The nature trail runs clockwise around Varesvuori along a network of paths and cycleways, presenting the versatile nature of the rocky area of Nakolinna through various attractions. The length of the nature trail is approximately 2 kilometres and it takes about an hour to go around it. The nature trail is easy and suitable for people of all ages but not for persons with impaired mobility, as there are some roots and rocks on the path. Along the trail, various natural attractions have been marked, such as a larch-dominated forest and a tall herb meadow. Traces of human activity can be seen on the path, for example, in the vegetation. Use of the site is limited to the time when the ground is not frozen, as there is no winter maintenance in the area.

Instructions: Distance between the intercity bus stops along the Main Road 110 and the nature trail is approximately 200 metres. Ordinary footwear is suitable for the nature trail. You can either walk the route or ride by mountain bike.
Take your rubbish back home with you. Litter thrown into the wild is life-threatening for birds and other animals in the area. Lighting a campfire is strictly prohibited!
In an emergency call 112 (the coordinates of the parking area are 60°23’406”N, 23°6’009”E): Identify yourself, indicate where you are (exact address and municipality) and explain what has happened. Ask other people in the vicinity for help and be present until professional assistance arrives. Guide the helpers to the site. Call again if the situation changes.
