Boardwalks by a boggy lake.

Valklampi boardwalk 4km

Kangasniementie 25, 19650 Joutsa

The Valklampi boardwalk takes you across the marsh surrounding Iso Valklampi and Pieni Valklampi ponds. The nature trail is about 4 kilometres in length altogether, about 1.5 kilometres of which are boarded. The trail also crosses the hill ridge that surrounds the marsh. 

Koskikaran kierros 3,5km

Koskelantie 127, 41710 Joutsa

The Koskikaran kierros trail starts at the Koskikara school in Rutalahti and follows the course of the Rutajoki river for most of its route. Along the trail, you’ll find both roaring rapids and gently steaming river bends, as well as a few detours away from the riverbank up into the woods. At the Porraskoski rapids bridge, a path links this trail to the Leivonmäki National Park. 

Tarhalehto Farm

Saarimäentie 26, 41400 Lievestuore

At Tarhalehto, you’ll meet a large number of animals up close, and even get to feed and pet them. The farm has a playground, a Lapp hut, a café, clubs, camps, horse riding and a lovely old farmyard with old buildings and machinery. Located only a 30-minute drive from Jyväskylä with good transport connections, the farm is also reachable by bus.
