The diverse Päijänne-Ilves trail starts from Padasjoki Marina. It includes paved pedestrian and bicycle routes, gravel road, forest road, fields and forest paths. The start of the trail is easy to walk and there is not much elevation. Before the middle section of the trail, in the village of Nyystölä, there is a Cudgel War memorial, after which you can make a separate trip to the Nyystölä birdwatching tower. The end of the trail is more difficult, as it includes more incline and rocky places, and the scenery also becomes more forested.

The viewing tower in the Kullasvuori recreational area next to Padasjoki Harbour is worth a visit. It offers spectacular views over the Päijänne National Park and surrounding landscape. There are forest paths leading up to the hilltop from the road Kullasvuorenkuja. Kullasvuori hill is the southernmost part of an esker beginning on the northern side of Kellosalmi.
