Toppila Island Loop

For a fun and easy to follow run, head to Topilla Island. A loop on its paths is 5.6 km — part along the water and part inland. Good options to add on with part of our multi-island tour.

Start at the marina on the east side of the island and head east on the path along the water for 0.4 km. Cross the Möljä Bridge, and run on the waterside path for another 0.5 km, crossing back over to Topilla. Follow the path south along the water for 0.5 km to Parasniemenpuisto, the park next to the Korkeasaarensilta pedestrian bridge. Here, the route follows an inland section of the island on a cycle path alongside Holstinsalmentie for ~1.3 km to Nallikari Beach. There’s a lovely path along this 0.8 km beach, which is popular in summer…and frozen in winter. North of the beach, the final 1.5 km is inland, through Fokkatie Park.

Add-Ons: From Toppila, can connect to our multi-island route.
