🌾 Lammassaari: A Walk Into Helsinki’s Wild Side

#hellohalloween If you ever need to escape the buzz of Helsinki, take a slow walk to Lammassaari — a tiny island where nature feels close enough to touch. Just a short ride from the city center to Vanhankaupunginlahti Bay, and you’ll find wooden boardwalks winding through reeds and wetlands, leading you deep into a world of birdsong, fresh air, and peace 🦆🌿. The walk itself is the highlight — long paths floating above the marshes, with the sound of rustling reeds and distant church bells. Along the way, you’ll spot birdwatching towers, wooden cabins, and views that stretch across the bay. By the time you reach Lammassaari, the city feels far behind, replaced by a gentle rhythm of wind and water 🌾☁️. 📍 How to Get There: Take tram or bus to Pornaistenniemi, then follow the marked wooden paths to Lammassaari (about 20–30 minutes). 💡 Tip: Wear comfy shoes — the boardwalk can be uneven in places — and bring binoculars if you love birdwatching. Walking to Lammassaari feels like discovering a secret corner of Helsinki — a reminder that wild, untouched nature is never far from the city’s heart.
