Welcome to Lähderanta in Espoo. The Laaksolahti fitness trail connects to the shoreline route along Lake Pitkäjärvi at Lähderanta, and it's quite impressive. But just out of curiosity, I took the first picture along the way, combining a great vantage point with ruins, which makes it a bit tempting, doesn't it...

Welcome to Suomenoja in Espoo. The Suomenoja bird ponds are popular among birdwatchers, but it's also a great outdoor area. Here are some pictures - believe it or not - from Boxing Day 2015. 

Welcome to the Glims River in Espoo. Glims together with its sister river Gloms form the Espoo River. This is a short story of a walk along the Glims River, from the bottom of Lake Pitkäjärvi to Lake Kirkkojärvi. I made the trip on the last day of April 2016. The sun was shining and the weather was good, and after spring rains the water was flowing.

Tremanskärri's magnificent marsh and nature trail can be found in northern Espoo, right next to Lake Kalajärvi. Walking along the long trees in the bog, you feel as if you are somewhere else than the Helsinki metropolitan area.

Oittaa nature trail is a part of Oittaa outdoor recreational area. The one and a half kilometer long trail runs mostly through Oittaa stream valley nature reserve.

The nature trail at Villa Elfvik is a beautiful route in Espoo's Laajalahti nature reserve. The actual circular route is probably not much longer than a few kilometers, but there are some great routes heading south towards Otaniemi.

Hanikka nature trail is perhaps the most versatile of Espoo's nature trails. The five-kilometer route features seashores, rocks and hills, forests, and duckboards.
