Hämeenlinna, Aulanko trail, intermediate

The intermediate trail takes approximately 1.5 hours. The trail mostly follows a gravel path, and does not have any particularly difficult areas. The trail’s southern part consists of an uncoated forest path, which can be muddy or slippery in the rain. In this case, waterproof footwear is useful. Regular outdoor equipment is ideal for the trail. There are various places for resting along the trail, such as benches and pavilions. Winter boots with a good grip are recommended for the trail in the winter.

In Finland we use only one emergency number, 112. The same emergency number 112 works in all EU countries. You can call the emergency number 112 free of charge from any phone with no need for an area code. You can also call 112 from a foreign mobile phone connection. You still won’t need an area code, just dial 112.

The route starts from the Aulanko Outdoor Recreation Centre, which has plenty of free parking space. Aulanko is signposted from the Helsinki–Tampere highway (highway 3) and from the Turku–Lahti road (highway 10). The distance between Hämeenlinna Railway Station and the Outdoor Recreation Centre is 5,3 km by car (taxi rank in front of railway station) and 4,7 km on foot. An internal bus (line number 2) also runs to Hotel Aulanko from the railway station. Hotel Aulanko is located approximately 1.5 km from the trail’s starting point, the Aulanko Outdoor Recreation Centre.
