    The Rehjan round is an easy ski track that runs on the ice of Lake Nuasjärvi. On the route, there is both a classic and skating ski track and it passes through beautiful lake scenery. If desired, the route can also be circled with snowshoes, as there is plenty of space next to the track. Skiing with a leashed dog is also allowed. The route makes a circle and there are parking spots for cars at the starting point. From Rehjan track there is a connecting track via the Rimpilänniemi ice track to the Vuokatti tracks. Halfway through the track on Rehjan island there is a lean-to shelter where it is nice to take a break during skiing. In spring, there is also the Rehjan track café on the island. Remember to check the café opening hours.

    Roadbook

    Rehjan ski track is an easy circular route that circles the island of Rehjan located on Lake Nuasjärvi. The starting point of the route is the parking area at the end of Taitokatu, but since it is an ice track, one can enter and leave the track at many points. At the beginning of the route, the track follows the shore of Lake Nuasjärvi and when Rehjan island comes into view, it branches right and left, circling the island. The route around Rehjan island can be completed in both directions. On Rehjan island, there is a fireplace shelter which serves as an excellent resting place. After circling the island, the route returns along the same ice track to the parking area where it started.
