Punarinnankierros is a 2,4 km circle trail in Nuuksio National Park around Haukkalampi and Mustalampi. Luontoon describes it as the easiest circle trail in Nuuksio and suitable for beginners. The route includes dry heath forest, small lakes, duckboards, and the floating peat mats of Mustalampi, while Haukkalampi services make it a good first Nuuksio hike with school-age children.

- Accessibility
- Punarinnankierros is not an accessible route: it includes narrower trail sections, duckboards, ascents and descents, and there is no winter maintenance. If you need a route that works better with a wheelchair or stroller, Luontoon separately lists the demanding accessible Maahisenkierros trail near Haltia and Solvalla.
Plan your visit
- Practical notes
- The official starting point is the Haukkalampi large or small parking area. Haukkalampi has an accessible dry toilet, table-bench sets, a drinking water point, and a recycling point. The Haukanpesä café operates in summer, and canoes, rowing boats, and bicycles can be rented in the area.
- Opening-hours notes
- The outdoor trail does not have set opening hours. Trails have no winter maintenance, and fires are allowed only at marked, maintained campfire sites when wildfire warnings do not prohibit them. Check current Luontoon information and warnings before going.
- Booking notes
- A self-guided day hike does not require booking. For groups, guided trips, equipment rental, and other services, check availability separately.
- Price notes
- Walking the trail is free. Possible costs relate to travel, parking, the summer café, or rented equipment.
- Age notes
- Works best for children around 5-12 who can walk 2,4 km on a forest trail with an adult. With younger children, treat it as a slow snack-and-discovery trip rather than a route to complete quickly.
- Seasonal notes
- The route can be walked in different seasons, but it is easiest during snow-free times. In winter, paths may be trampled but are not maintained; ice and children's energy need separate judgement.
- Weather notes
- Best in dry or settled weather. In rain, roots, rocks, and duckboards can be slippery, and in strong wind it is worth reconsidering forest routes carefully.
