Itinerary description
Within half an hour’s drive from the city of Turku to Kurjenrahka National Park, your setting changes from busy town life to a slower pace of uninhabited forests and marshes. Along the Karpalopolku Trail, your senses are filled with the aromas of the marshes and with the sounds of the forests. And however often you visit the national park, the sensations are always unique. Along Karpalopolku, you also see the famous Kuhankuono Stone, a border stone of seven communes.
Along the Karpalopolku Trail, there is both a wooden boardwalk (0,3 km) and a graveled path (1,4 km), in different sections. The trail is at its narrowest (just 1,1 m wide) along the strecthes of wooden boardwalks. The trail undulates gently, both vertically and horizontally. Due to two larger inclines, assistance is needed for visitors in wheelchairs. There are a lot of benhces for resting along the trail. The viewing platform on the forest islet beside the marsh is a good place for a picnic.
Leading away from the parking lot is another 100 m long trail to the Kurjenpesä area. There you can find accessible services like a cooking shelter, the Nature Information Hut, a dry toilet and a viewing platform from which you can enjoy the scenery of Lake Savojärvi. There is also a campsite.
