Monnonlahti trail, Lemi

You can arrive at the destination by bike or car. Cars can be parked at the turning point of the small road that goes under the power line.

From the turning point, walk about 20 meters back along the road to find the first orange-topped post sign at the trail start. The trail initially follows the track made by forestry machinery under the power line and then becomes a forest path at the edge of the woods. The reasonably short trail rises and falls following the shapes of the rocky terrain. Finally, the trail descends from the forest to a grill shelter. The scenery by the grill shelter is protected forest. There is also a pier by the grill shelter at Monnonlahti.

It is safest to move in groups in the terrain and on the water if you are not familiar with the area. Before the trip, it is good to obtain the necessary maps and guides, and especially before going on the water, check the weather forecasts. Dress appropriately for the weather and wear sturdy footwear. It is advisable to also bring first aid supplies, rain gear, spare clothes, and enough drinks, especially in summer. Remember to wear a life jacket on the water.

On wet days and in winter, boardwalks, rocks, and piers may be slippery.

Routes and trails are not maintained during snowy periods.

In an emergency, call 112. Tell your location, what happened, and listen to the instructions.
