In Hämeenkangas there are also routes for those for whom narrower and more difficult tracks are not suitable. There are two short routes in the area, which Metsähallitus Parks and Wildlife Finland has classified as demanding accessible routes. One of the routes is located at the top of Niiniharju esker. The other route connects Uhrilähde and Kylmänmyllynlähde springs. In addition, during the snow-free season other tracks in Hämeenkangas, such as the Pirkan ura route and other primarily ski tracks, offer good opportunities for hiking with, for example, aids for disabled and trolleys.

There are viewing platforms at the Uhrilähde and Kylmänmyllynlähde springs, which are accessible with assistance. The airy railings of the platforms provide good views to the springs. You can also climb to the top of Soininharju ridge to see the distant views, but the slope is quite steep, so the visit requires caution.

The accessible section of the trail at Niiniharju includes an accessible Niinikota and an accessible dry toilet. The Koivistonharju lean-to is also accessible, and there is also an accessible dry toilet nearby. Along the Pirkan ura trail, halfway between Jämi and Kuninkaanlähde, there is an accessible Ruskalaavu lean-to and an accessible dry toilet.
