On the Pahapuron lenkki Trail, you’ll hike on duckboards across peatland and rocky shores. The forest paths are narrow and rocky.
Parts of the Pahapuron lenkki Trail pass through the Salamanperä Strict Nature reserve, where visitors must stay on the marked trails at all times and it is not allowed to pick berries or mushrooms.
When returning to Koirasalmi, the trail will follow a section of the trail hiked at the start.
Alternatively, you can return by circling Lake Pieni Koirajärvi on the Vasan kierros Trail. This will add 900 metres to the hike.
