The Metsoreitti trail in the municipality of Laukaa is a multipurpose route suitable for a wide range of activities. The 50-kilometre route passes through villages and beautiful landscapes. When there is no snow, the route is popular among hikers and mountain bikers, and skiers love it in the winter. There are 15 lean-tos/Lapp huts along the 50-km route, serving both those hiking for a day and overnight visitors. The route passes through the traditional but varied landscape of the Jyväskylä Region.
Come and admire the Old Church in Pihlajavesi and the cultural landscapes of the Old Church Trail in Keuruu. The trail runs through varied terrain and is suitable for the whole family.
The route goes via Asemankylä and Sahankylä to the Old Church in Pihlajavesi, which has been described as the most mystical church in Finland. The well-known cruciform church was built in 1781, originally without any permission. As you walk along Valkeajärventie to Asemakylä, you can admire an important local cultural environment. On a hot summer’s day, you should stop to take a dip at the shallow, natural sandy beach in Saha, a particularly popular stop for families with children.

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.
