Liekokorpi

The paths, which winds around close to the Länkipohja urban area, are pleasant and easy-going.

Two marked nature paths can be found in Liekokorpi. The shorter route is around 400m long, while hikers choosing the longer route will get to walk around two kilometres. The shorter route takes the hiker to a forest shelter which also marks the halfway point of the longer route. At the shelter, you can enjoy a picnic and barbecue sausages. The generously sized shelter also offers a roof for up to around 20 hikers. Behind the shelter there is a firewood store, for which the landowner provides the wood. It is not permitted to gather campfire fuel from the surrounding nature.
