Welcome to the Elovaara nature trails with the BRIDGES!
Departure is from the Carelia parking lot in front of the university (Yliopistokatu 1, 80100 Joensuu) on Saturday 15.4. at 10.30 am. It takes about 30 min to Elovaara, arriving at about 11 am. We will travel by a charter bus.
Elovaara has two trails of different lengths, a 1,5 km and 2,5 km trail. Both trails have rest areas with fireplaces and toilets. Firewood is available at the fireplaces. In Elovaara it is possible to walk independently or in a group. You can also join an ISYY's group, which aims to walk both trails during the day.
The return hike starts at 3 pm and we will be back on campus at around 3:30 pm. The trips back and forth are free of charge. You should bring a snack with you. The nearest shop is about half an hour's walk away. We recommend wearing appropriate weather gear and be prepared for slippery conditions.
