Little Lynx route Hattula

Walk about 400 meters from the parking area along a sandy forest road to the starting point of the route. 
A narrow path turns into the forest at the route's starting sign. You walk 450 meters on the forest path until you reach a fork in the paths. The path remains narrow but widens as you walk towards the lean-to shelter. From the lean-to, the route can be followed in either direction.
From in front of the lean-to, continue according to the route direction up a steep hill, with a gradient varying between 14% and 34%. Initially, the path is wide and occasionally rocky, after which fitness stairs make the climb easier. There are two benches on the way for resting, which are worth using. One bench is after the first steep section, and the other is halfway up the stairs.
On top of the historic Tenhola castle hill, you can admire the scenery in good weather all the way to Pirkanmaa. 
The route continues through the top of the castle hill and proceeds into the forest where there is a downhill slope. The maximum gradient of the hill is 19%.  The trail is occasionally rocky and has roots, which can be slippery in wet weather, spring, or autumn. For example, those carrying backpacks should be careful with their steps. 
From dense coniferous forest, you reach a slightly more open mixed forest area where paths intersect. The route continues to the right (northeast) along a ski track first gently uphill and then gently downhill. This section of the route uses a multipurpose trail for 400 meters, so walkers should keep to the right side of the path. The faster party must give way, but both parties should be considerate of each other.
You can take a break at the lean-to at the foot of Tenhola castle hill, for example, enjoying some snacks. There is also a toilet near the lean-to. 
From the lean-to, return back along the same path to the route's starting point (600 m).
