A glacier-carved trail you can reach by train: the Turenki–Kolmilammi Esker Trail is one of Häme’s best-kept secrets

Stretching about 15 km through Janakkala, this ancient esker ridge was formed at the end of the Ice Age, when meltwater carved the landscape into the rolling pine-forested ridges you can walk today. The trail winds along the top of the esker, dipping occasionally into marshy hollows, and opens up to beautiful panoramic views over the Häme rural landscape.

Along the way, you can spend the night at Kiipula Guest House and take a short detour for a coffee at countryside café.

✅ ~15 km, best suitable for hiking
🚂 Both trailheads (Turenki & Ryttylä) are accessible by train
🏊🏼 Swimming spots at both ends of the route
💧 Natural spring stop mid-trail
ℹ️ No other services along the trail, so pack your own supplies and enjoy the peace!

Whether you’re a seasoned trekker, trail runner or just looking for a long day out in nature, this trail is a wonderful way to experience the quiet beauty of Häme
