Kuopio-Jukolan liikennekartta_5_900

The competition centre of Kuopio-Jukola is situated in Rytökylä in the village of Vehmersalmi, Kuopio. It is 50 km from the centre of Kuopio by car and 22 km by boat.

By car

When arriving at Kuopio-Jukola, please follow the traffic instruction signs.

When coming from the south or west, don’t take road 5370 from E5 because there is a ferry on the road (see the red cross on the map), causing traffic jams. Please follow the Jukola signs.

If you arrive on Saturday, please be prepared to spend at least one hour more on the road because the roads are very narrow and there will be plenty of cars causing queues when approaching  Kuopio-Jukola.

The parking fee will be checked when leaving. You can pay the fee in the Jukola Shop – please remember to pay it before leaving! The car park is very close to the competition centre.

Please remember safety in traffic: start driving home only after having a good rest!
