A relaxing hiking trail in the middle of the forest right next to the village of Ruka. It is comfortably suitable for a day trip, there are good views along the way and a hut as a break point, where you can warm up and rest. The mountain bike route Pyhän jyssäys runs through the Pyhävaara nature reserve, which is part of Valtavaara and Pyhävaara.
The route starts from Ruka in the middle of the cottages, but soon you will find yourself on a wooded path heading towards Pyhävaara. The route goes over Pikku Pyhävaara, not right to the top of Pyhävaara. The route serves nice scenery amidst fells, dangers and ponds.
The route runs along a gravel road and a chewing road, although a few longitudinal trees are traversed over the wettest points.
The Pyhävaara hut has a campfire site and toilets, and they are located in the middle of the route, at the highest point. The vantage point crowns the stop. Pyhävaara has been the Sámi holy place "seita".
Route markings: posts with green reflective tape and red reflective plate. Sanctuary of the saint is also a hiking trail.
During the winter, the trail serves as a snowshoe route and a winter cycling route.
