Hahmajärvi nature trail – 2 km
Last updated: 15.07.2024Times are changing, come with me.
At Herralan's Hahmajärvi, you can enjoy unique rock landscapes in the middle of nature. The route runs through a fairy-tale beautiful forest and climbs up a steep cliff. Along the way, you can stop and travel back in time to ancient settlements. At the top of the cliff, time stops again when it is time to calm down and admire the beautiful Päijät-Häme lake landscape. While looking at the landscape, you can take a break for a snack. The journey continues into a forest with varied terrain.
The nature trail is a couple of kilometers long, so it is also well suited for hiking with children. The terrain is quite rocky, and there is some climbing. The route is guided by signs marked with the Päijät-Häme provincial flower, cornflower. You can also swim on the hike, as the trail starts and ends at the Herrala beach. There is also a barbecue shelter on the beach.
