Starting point: Haltia parking area, Nuuksiontie 84, 02820 Espoo.
The Päivättärenpolku Trail begins next to the Haltia parking area. The trail can be travelled in both directions, but the trail presentation is counterclockwise.
From the parking area, climb a long hill to the east of the Solvalla sports field. Then, continue towards the Aarnituli reservable campfire site along the edge of a small mire.
Soon after the northern corner of the thematic trail, there will be a detour to the top of the Solvalla ski slope, from where you can admire an open view over the Nuuksio fault-line valley and Lake Pitkäjärvi in Nuuksio.
The rest of the trail descends rather gently towards the starting point, the Haltia parking area.
The distance can be shortened slightly, if you turn left after the mire. You can reach the final section of the Päivättärenpolku Trail from the northern side of the sports field and along the northern edge of the Solvalla parking area.
The Päivättärenkierros Trail is mainly easy to travel, although it has some steep hills and some roots at the end. It is wide, sand-surfaced and suitable for prams.
The information boards along the thematic trail showcase nature in Nuuksio.
