After the old cart track, the path continues downhill, turning slightly to the left, and finally leads to the northern slope of Hämeenkangas. The trail continues to follow the northern slope up to the Jämi-Jukola lean-to shelter. After the lean-to shelter, the path descends below the north slope, and continues in gently undulating terrain towards Jämi.
