ketjureitti
Ketjureitti is a Finnish term that translates to "chain route" or "chain path." It generally refers to a sequence of interconnected paths, trails, or routes that allow for continuous travel over a significant distance. This concept is often applied to outdoor recreation, such as hiking, cycling, or cross-country skiing. A ketjureitti might link existing national parks, nature reserves, or municipal recreational areas, creating a larger, unified network. The development of a ketjureitti typically involves planning and collaboration between various authorities, landowners, and recreational organizations to ensure seamless connectivity and consistent trail marking. The goal is to offer extended experiences for enthusiasts, allowing them to traverse diverse landscapes and enjoy prolonged periods of outdoor activity without interruption. These routes can range from relatively short day-trip circuits to multi-day expeditions. The specific characteristics of a ketjureitti depend on the region and the types of activities it is designed to support, but the core idea remains the provision of an unbroken journey through natural or semi-natural environments.
