Nature trails and routes with lighting
In Hämeenlinna, nature sites, recreational areas and trails are close by – often right beside your doorstep.
Campfire sites and huts
The campfire sites and campfire huts of Hämeenlinna invite you to go on an excursion and enjoy the local nature. Here, you will find dozens of sites where you can rest, light a fire and spend time alone or together. The city also has three campfire huts that you can book for private use.
Rantareitti Trail
The most popular outdoor trail in the first National Urban Park of Finland. Along the trail, you can enjoy both culture and the peace of nature on the same trip.
Bird towers
Hämeenlinna has several bird towers and observation points from which you can follow the spring and autumn migration and explore the diverse birdlife in different parts of the city. For example, Lake Hattelmala, Lake Ormajärvi and Pirttikoski offer good opportunities for bird watching at valuable bird waters and wetlands. The bird towers are also worth visiting for the scenery – at best, the tower offers a view far across lakes, fields and forests.
