Pohjoishaara riverbank road

Hike on the riverbank

You can get all the way to Pirttikoski along the riverbank road north of the river. The trail starts from the town centre at the end of Koskikuja, with parking spaces for cars. At the start of the trail you can enjoy open fire in a hut, sit on a bench, and observe the riverside nature.

Pirttikoski Trail, approx. 19 km
Take the Pohjoishaara riverbank road to Pirttikoski, cross the river along the Bridge Kuusiniemi and return along the Etelähaara riverbank road.

Pyhäjoki riverbank roads were built in the 1950s to protect the lowlands of the riverside from flooding. The riverbank roads not only provide flood protection, but are also excellent hiking trails and part of the hiking trails under development. Jump on a bike or go by foot and witness the season cycle of the river nature from a front-row seat. Tip for summer hikers: wild raspberry grows along the riverbank roads!
