You can easily access the harju hills of Janakkala by train as well. It’s just a stone’s throw from the Turenki station to the nice hiking trails, and it’s easy to stock up your snack backpack in the local shops before heading out.

You can make a loop on the hills and return to Turenki or continue your journey from Hämeenlinna or Ryttylä stations.

Both routes are also popular among mountain bikers.

Turenki-Ryttylä approx. 20 km
From Turenki, a continuous ridge extends all the way to Hausjärvi. The route is not marked on the terrain, but there are paths on the ridge that are easy to follow using, for example, a mobile map.

Along the way, there is the Janakkala Ladun lean-to and Kiipula with its diverse services. You can also book accommodation in Kiipula if the total 20 km journey is too much for one day.

Turenki-Hämeenlinna approx. 17 km

Through the Kalpalinna ridge terrain located near Turenki, you can reach Raimansuo and from there along the boardwalks through the Miemala nature reserve to the center of Hämeenlinna. The route goes through a prison area, but passage is permitted along the marked route.

Conversely, when traveling from Hämeenlinna to Turenki, you can wait for the train departure near the Ahilammi lakeside lean-to. You can buy firewood for the lean-to via mobile payment.
