You can look at the map on the www-site of the city of Tampere
http://www.tampere.fi/ytoteto/kami/paikkat/tre/index.html

Unfortunately on the english site you cannot find these routes on the map. (There are, however, many other interesting maps:

I think that from Kauppi you can also find connections to outside Tampere - and if they are not long enough, you are very fit indeed!
