From Koli Nature Centre Ukko, drive downwards along Ylä-Kolintie road for 2 km and turn right towards the Koli village. Distance from the Nature Centre to the Koli village is altogether 3,6 km. When you reach the village, turn right onto Merilänrannantie towards Loma-Koli and drive for roughly 1 km, then turn right onto Rantatie road and continue for another 1 km until you reach the harbor. After Koli Harbour, continue south along Rantatie road all the way (11 km) to the the Ala-Murhi farmhouse. Ala-Murhi farmhouse is a grey house with mansard roof on the right side on the road. In summer, you can park your car at the lay-by on the Ala-Murhi farmyard. Walk 400 metres along the Kiehisen kierros Trail that starts at the corner of the house, until you reach the Ylä-Murhi Hut.
