The first part of the route runs along a path and road to the old cattle path along which the route does in fact travel most of the distance. At approximately 1 km, the route crosses a bog area with Lake Kemijärvi glimmering on both sides in the horizon. Halfway through, the route crosses Reinikanpesäntie, following it for a while. From here onwards, the route continues along the old cattle trail up to crossing a bog and ditch, where it diverges from the old cattle path up the hill towards the Sarvilampi break place. It is also possible to set off to the nature trail from Reinikantie. The starting point of the route at the Ulkuniemi swimming beach has a lavatory. There are also four geocache by the route.
