Talkoovuoret-Miehinkäinen Nature Trail 1,5km

Kaijantie 562, 41240 Uurainen

The nature trail includes two route alternatives: The Talkoovuoret and Miehinkäinen trails. Both are 1.5 km long and can easily be completed one after another. Talkoovuoret Nature Trail runs through varied forest terrains and descends to a trench enclosed by dramatic cliffs.  Miehinkäinen Nature Trail is easier than the Talkoovuoret trail, and runs mainly through wetland. The birdwatching tower is great for viewing birds nesting and resting on Lake Miehinkäinen.
