Out of town

Kirkkoharju Observation Tower: Built in the 1930s in the Functionalist style, the Kirkkoharju Observation Tower is located in the Kirkkoharju recreational and outdoor area, near Kangasala city center. The observation tower offers magnificent lake views and the tower’s café sells delicious sweet and salty snacks.

Haralanharju Ridge: Haralanharju Ridge, also located in Kangasala, is recognized as one of the nationally valuable landscape areas of Finland. In the mid-19th century, the views from the ridge inspired the poet Sakarias Topelius to write the famous song “A Summer Day at Kangasala”. You can enjoy the whole beauty of the Haralanharju landscapes from a wooden observation tower that is normally open all year round. However, the observation tower is closed 2022–2023 due to renovation.

Helvetinjärvi National Park: Helvetinjärvi National Park is a dazzlingly beautiful location with a bit scary name, “Hell’s Lake”. The tops of pines going up into the sky, deep crevices, mysterious cliffs, still lakes — everything here seems to be from another dimension. Pass the “Hell’s Gate” (this is how the main entrance to the park is called) and take a walk along a 4 km long path. Halfway you will see a narrow Helvetinkolu (“Hell’s Hole”) gorge hidden in the rock, the age of which counts from the ice age. Finland was proud of its natural landmark as early as in the 19th century.
