Herajärvi Trail Directions and Maps

14.7.2021
During a forest fire warning (ilmatieteenlaitos.fi), fire is only allowed at covered campfire sites that have a flue or in fireplaces at huts, but only with extreme caution. The one who lights the fire is always responsible for its safety. Making a fire at campfire sites can be banned locally.

Directions 

By car

The recommended starting and finishing points for the trail are the Visitor Centre Ukko (Ylä-Kolintie 39), Kiviniemi (Mustalahdentie 27) and the Eteläpää parking area (Eteläpääntie 113, Kontiolahti).
