Ellinpolku at Alkkianvuori
The circular route starting from the southern parking area of Alkkianvuori runs mainly through easy-to-walk pine forest and in its northern part on easy-to-walk rocky terrain, although the path also has some rocky sections. Part of the route follows the old cart path leading to the Alkkianvuori tower. The route alignment west of the spring area has changed for about 100 m. The new section is marked in the terrain, but the trail is not yet clearly visible. The old boardwalk section from Ellinviita is no longer in use.
Along the route, there are rest benches on the northern slope of Alkkianvuori. Along the route, there are no opportunities for campfires or toilets. The route is maintained by Metsähallitus, and the service structures on the route have been built by the city of Parkano.
