A technical disturbance has downed the City of Helsinki's switchboard, causing calls to drop or not go through. We are working to resolve the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Luonnon syli nature trail 1 km, accessible

Pornaistenniemi's accessible Luonnon syli nature trail is an easy one-kilometre ring trail. The nature trail circles through an alder grove and diverges to the edge of a reedbed. Along the nature trail, there is a play area, wooden seats, a picnic area, a birdwatching tower and a hide for observing birds. The birdwatching tower and hide are not accessible. There is a mirror at the base of the birdwatching tower that reflects the landscape of Vanhankaupunginlahti. The information boards of the wellbeing-themed nature trail contain texts and exercises written in the form of quatrain poems.
