The length of the trail is 4,5 kilometers and there are 40 check points on the route. The nature trail follows the shores of Vuoksi north to Tainionkoski, crosses the Torna bridge to the eastern shore of Vuoksi and returns back to the departure guide board. The starting guide board for this nature trail and the Vuoksi loop is located under the Mansikkala bridge (Highway 6) next to the bird board on the west bank of Vuoksi.

The nature trail guidebook tells about the natural sites, history and human activities of the Vuoksi valley. The main focus is on the presentation of plant species, but birds and insects will also become familiar. The nature trail is at its best in spring and summer, but autumn's twilight offers wonderful views along Vuoksi.

The run follows an easy-to-navigate light traffic route and in some places you walk on forest paths. People with reduced mobility can travel sections 1–10, 13–14, 16–18 and 27–32.
