The Päijänne-Ilves trail forms a connection to the Evo Hiking Area.

It contains nicely varying terrain, including villages, forests, swamps and dry peaty forests.

The Cudgel War memorial adds a touch of history, and Frans Joosef Pond’s nature reserve lets you experience pristine nature.

Another note worthy landmark is an exceptionally large boulder close to the end of the trail.

The diverse Päijänne-Ilves trail starts from Padasjoki Marina.

It includes paved pedestrian and bicycle routes, gravel road, forest road, fields and forest paths.

The total length of the trail is 13 km.
