The hike of swamp Vajosuo is the longest one out of Kuhankuono hiking routes. It's pretty easy route to walk, except at early part of route duckboards are in bad condition, but you can walk next to them, at least when it's not so wet.
Along this route there are large bogs of Kurjenrahka National Park, Vajosuo and Kurjenrahka, which imposing scenes no matter what time of the year it is. The route also touches the Pukkipalo primeval forest area and Lake Savojärvi. Outside the National Park the scenes vary from forest nature to agricultural landscape.
Starting points are Rantapiha parking lot or Kurjenpesä nature room in the north or Vajosuo parking lot in the south. There are several resting and fire places along this route, also wickets if you plan to stay over night there.
Also there are couple of lookout towers where you can have a better view over swamp terrain.
One interesting thing was to notice how big of difference on distance became between Sport Tracker and Polar M430 watch. Polar claimed distance to be 30,19 km and ST 35,70 km. Have noticed that ST shows bit faster speed and longer distance, but on shorter one the difference has never been so disturbingly big.
So I'm going to make a test to see how accurate they really are. Going to walk 5 laps on 400 m track and compare distances.
