Getting there

Without a car

From Saint Petersburg, take a suburban train from Finlyandsky railway terminal to the station nearest the trailhead, then continue by local bus or on foot towards the trailhead. Check seasonal services and the last return train for remote areas. Because the start and finish are in different places, check the return service in advance, arrange a transfer or leave a second vehicle near the finish.

By car

Drive via the A-121 Sortavala highway or Priozerskoye Highway, then use the regional road towards the trailhead. On forest and coastal sections, use only open access roads. Because the start and finish are in different places, check the return service in advance, arrange a transfer or leave a second vehicle near the finish.

Parking

Leave the car beside a railway station, official nature-trail entrance, recreation base or municipal car park. Do not pass barriers or obstruct emergency access.
