The opening ceremony will take place at Satakielenraitti on 19 August
The new Satakielenraitti trail, built in the countryside at the southern end of Lake Tuusulanjärvi, is now open along its entire length. The opening event, which is open to all, offers an opportunity to explore the new nature trail and the area’s diverse birdlife. The opening ceremony will take place on Wednesday 19 August from 5.30 pm to 7.30 pm in Valkamanpuisto, near the junction of Kirkkotie and Koskenmäentie.
Coffee will be served at the opening ceremony, and the mayor, Janne Mellin, will give the opening address. In addition, bird experts Juha Honkala and Jan-Erik Jusslin from Apus ry will provide more detailed information about the area’s birdlife. There will be nature-themed activities on offer for families with children. Along the route, you can take part in a photo treasure hunt and have a go at painting stones. The photo treasure hunt is a fun way to discover the route’s points of interest.
The route, which is about one kilometre long, runs partly through a Natura 2000 site known for its particularly valuable birdlife. Along this easy-to-follow trail, there are information boards and rest areas from which you can observe the surrounding nature. The Satakielenraitti trail has been created to enable visitors to experience the area’s natural environment whilst taking care to respect its valuable natural features and birdlife.
– A wide variety of bird species nest in the area, including some that are nationally endangered and protected under the EU Birds Directive, says municipal gardener Mia Järvinen. To ensure these birds can nest undisturbed, part of the route is closed annually from April until the end of July.
We hope you’ll come on foot or by bike, as there isn’t enough parking space next to the park to accommodate a large number of visitors. Please also note that there are no toilets available in the park during the event. Welcome to the new Satakielenraitti trail to experience the lakeside scenery of Lake Tuusulanjärvi and the diversity of nature in a whole new way!
