A trail running on an Ice Age sand ridge. Some rocks and roots, but mostly easy riding. Does bypass one of the local sights, the Pontus Dig, an attempt to build a major canal over 400 years ago.

Access Info

Muukontie in the west and Kiilinkatu in the east, the trail is quite hard to miss.

This trail is unsanctioned.
