Illuminated bridge in Jyväskylä.

Ylistö Bridge

Jyväsjärvi, 40500 Jyväskylä

One of Jyväskylä’s most famous landmarks, the magnificently lit Ylistö Bridge is a 208-metre-long bicycle and pedestrian bridge connecting Mattilanniemi and Ylistönmäki and the two campuses of the University of Jyväskylä. The bridge over Lake Jyväsjärvi in the southwest part of the city looks magnificent, especially at night, with its lights and their reflections of the lake.

Vaatimen kierros trail 18km

Koirasalmentie 1220, Kivijärvi

Located in Salamajärvi National Park, the Vaatimen kierros trail offers an opportunity to explore the diverse wilderness. The nature trail is 18 kilometres long and partly rocky, so it is necessary to bring good footwear and reserve plenty of time. Vaatimen kierros is a great all-day excursion! Along the way there are two camping sites, a campfire site and a wilderness cabin at Ahvenlammi, where you can book an overnight stay in advance. The trail passes through beautiful lake scenery, craggy cliffs and several bogs. The path is mainly on even land but some places are very rocky.
