Hervanta

Hervanta has a couple of stunning hiking and nature areas. The Hervantajärvi hiking and conservation area is about a 300-meter walk from the final tram stop. The Hervantajärvi area offers around 10 kilometers of marked hiking trails and two campfire sites. At Viitastenperä, there is a unique, organically designed lean-to shelter with wood shed and dry toilets. The Hervantajärvi area is ideal for activities such as walking, skiing, biking, and trail running. If you’re looking for a longer adventure, the trails lead towards south, where they connect with the Kaarinanpolku trail in Kangasala and the Birgitanpolku trail in Lempäälä.

Also within walking distance from a tram stop, you’ll find the Suolijärvi nature trail, which is 4.5 kilometers long and runs entirely along the shoreline of Suolijärvi. In the fall of 2023, the Mielenreitti nature trail was completed in the Suolijärvi area, featuring stories and paintings along the way. Suolijärvi lake also has a popular beach.
