The Nahkiaispolku Trail runs in very typical Nuuksio landscapes, with old-growth spruce forests, rocks, steep climbs and descents, streamside and a small meadow along the trail. There are information boards along the trail that describe, among other things, the diverse restoration work carried out in the area. The trail has very steep descents and climbs with stairs. There are duckboards in wet spots on the Nahkiaispolku Trail, and bridges for crossing streams.

Starting points: Haukkalampi parking areas, Haukkalammentie 30 and Haukkalammentie 32, 02820 Espoo.
The Nahkiaispolku Trail can be travelled in both directions, but the trail presentation is counterclockwise.
From the Haukkalampi parking areas, go towards the bridge over the stream and across the Haukkalammentie Road, towards a steep slope with stairs. The Haukkalammenpuro Brook flows next to it, joining the larger Myllypuro Brook later. Next to the spruce-dominated forest, you can see the old, dammed pond and the dam structure.
After crossing the wetland and the Myllypuro Brook, you will reach the Purola meadow, which is managed to safeguard the living conditions of meadow plants and insects dependent on them.
Soon after the meadow, you will encounter one of the steepest climbs in the Nuuksio National Park, with steel stairs.
The final section of the Nahkiaispolku Trail follows the same route as the end of the Haukankierros Trail, and the trail ends with a rather steep decline to the starting point at the Haukkalampi parking areas.
End points: Haukkalampi parking areas, Haukkalammentie 30 and Haukkalammentie 32, 02820 Espoo.
