The narrow Pulkkilanharju, which stretches across Päijänne, is an eight-kilometer-long island chain connected by bridges and one of the most beautiful sights in Lake Finland. Pulkkilanharju, located in Päijänne National Park, is part of a nationally valuable landscape area and an important observation point for birds during spring and autumn migration.
Pulkkilanharju is one of the most significant sites of the Salpausselkä Geopark and an internationally representative example of the latest ice age's remnants. Pulkkilanharju was formed about 11,500 years ago at the location of an ice river flowing within the continental glacier, from meltwater-deposited gravel and sand at the end of the ice age.
The route starts from the Karisalmi Bridge parking lot, following a well-maintained dry heath forest trail. Follow the ridge trail signs and blue route markings. Be especially careful at intersections and when crossing forest roads.
