A section of the new Satakielenraitti is opening at the southern end of Lake Tuusulanjärvi
The first part of the outdoor trail built at the southern end of Lake Tuusulanjärvi will be opened to walkers today, April 2. The entire trail, named Satakielenraitti will be open in the fall after the bird nesting season ends.
In the first phase, the approximately 500-meter-long southern section of the trail will be opened, running from Koskenmäentie at the Tuusulanjärvi estuary and continuing in an arc along the shores of Lake Tuusulanjärvi back to Koskenmäentie.
Final work is still being done in the area, but the work will not affect the use of the trail.
The northern part of the trail from Kalamestarintie to the intersection in the middle will be closed from April 1 to July 31 to ensure the area’s birdlife can nest. The entire trail will be opened in August.
The new trail is approximately 1.5 meters wide and fairly easy to walk. Some are paved with planks, some are paved with crushed stone and stone ash. The route is not barrier-free, but it is easy to walk. There are no stairs on the route, but there are elevation differences on the paths leading to the route.
In addition to the actual route, bicycle parking has been created in the area on both Kalamestarintie and Valkamanpuisto sides of the route. In addition, the lighting in the Valkamanpuisto area has been improved.
The new route to be built will consist of two parts: the southern part of the route will start from Koskenmäentie at the Tuusulanjoki river delta and run in an arc along the southern shore of Lake Tuusulanjärvi before returning to Koskenmäentie, while the northern section branches off from this route towards the north and runs along Kalamestarintie.
