The Haukankierros Trail can be travelled in both directions, but the trail presentation is counterclockwise.
Start from the large Haukkalampi parking area and go along a wide and well-surfaced road through a spruce forest. You will then reach a small parking area, approaching the Haukkalampi Pond and its services.
After the Haukkalampi yard, dip back into the spruce forest. After the Haukanholma junction, climb up a hill to the dam at the Mustalampi Pond.
After a steep climb, you will reach rocks at the western Mustalampi campsite, where you can find a campfire site, a tent area and a dry toilet.
From the campsite, descend near the shore of the Haukkalampi Pond and soon turn to the right on a forest trail, where you will encounter relatively old-growth forests with their steep cliffs, valleys, ascents and descents, one after another. You can also catch a glimpse of the Haukkalampi Pond from high up.
At the northeast end of the trail, you will find one of the most magnificent views on the Haukankierros Trail and in the entire Nuuksio region, an open view over the Myllypuro fault-line valley. At the top of the rocks, you can admire magnificent autumn colours in the autumn and the amazing greenness of deciduous trees in the late spring.
Descend slowly from the rocks until there is a steeper descent near the Haukkalammentie Road, leading to the end of the trail at the parking area.
End point: Haukkalampi parking areas, Haukkalammentie 30 and Haukkalammentie 32, 02820 Espoo.

You can find an accessible dry toilet and table-bench sets, a drinking water point and a recycling point at the Haukkalampi Pond. The small Haukkalampi parking area has a recycling point for different types of waste. There are several information boards along the trail in the Haukkalampi and Mustalampi areas.
