The trail is marked with orange circles on signposts at trail junctions. The signposts have been numbered and the numbers correspond to the numbering of the Koli service and trail map (1:20,000). Recommended direction is clockwise.
The trail starts at the Paimenenvaara parking area at the junction 75. First the trail goes up the Paimenenvaara slope and through grey alder and spruce forests. Here you come to steep stairs, after which a more even section of the trail continues right towards the Paimenenvaara campfire site to the junction 20.
The trail continues towards Paskovaara and eventually goes down steep stairs to a bedrock recess and back to the parking area.
