The trail passes through the key gold prospecting areas in the National Park and shows how gold came to exist at Lemmenjoki River, how it was discovered and forgotten several times, what kind of lifestyle was created around the gold and how gold is extracted from the soil.

You can start hiking at Kultahamina. In this case, you will arrive at the starting point from Njurgulahti by river boat, passing through the strikingly beautiful river valley that changes from one season to another, from spring to summer, and from summer to autumn. At Lemmenjoki River, each boat trip is a uniquely wonderful and exhilarating experience.

You can hike to Kultahamina from Njurgulahti along the river valley trail. The riverside trail is in the shade of old, serene pine forests. There are cable boats for crossing at Searitniva and Härkäkoski.

There are also campfire sites and camping areas, rental and wilderness huts as well as day trip huts on the trail.

When setting out from Njurgulahti, the trail follows the Lemmenjoki River up to Kultahamina. On the trail, the river must be crossed using a cable boat. There are slight terrain height differences on this trail section.

Alternatively, you can arrive at Kultahamina by river boat. The long ascent to open fells begins at Kultahamina. In the open fell area, the trail section is relatively easy up to Jäkälä-Äytsi, where the descent and ascent to and from the gorge are extremely steep. The rest of the trail up to Ravadasjärvi is a descending forest trail, but there are height differences in the trail section. The forest sections of the trail are marked with orange paint on trees, and in the treeless fell area, with orange wooden posts.
