The Runokangas trail starts from the Nature Centre’s yard. The trail begins as a wide, gravel path winding through ridge forests. Midway along the trail, you will cross Seitsemisentie.
The trail continues through the shaded forest of Pakkulakangas, becoming more root-covered. The final section runs along the edge of Ahvenlampi. Please remember to give nesting swans peace and quiet at the pond. The trail returns to the Kulomäki parking area on the opposite side of the road.
Along the trail, you will find seven poems carved into Kuru granite, each on different themes. Additionally, in the yard of the Nature Centre, there is a children's playground, cooking shelter, dry toilet, water point, and recycling point.
