🌿 Lammassaari: Where Helsinki Meets the Swamplands

#hellohalloween Just a short ride from the city center, Lammassaari feels like stepping into another world — one made of wooden walkways, whispering reeds, and endless swampland reflections. The trail begins at Pornaistenniemi, where narrow boardwalks lead you across the wetlands of Vanhankaupunginlahti Bay, a haven for birds, frogs, and quiet wanderers alike 🦆🌾. The swamps around Lammassaari are alive with subtle beauty — still pools mirroring the sky, cattails swaying in the breeze, and the hum of nature filling the air. It’s a landscape that changes with the seasons: green and lush in summer, golden in autumn, and peaceful under winter frost. Walking here feels meditative, each step a gentle rhythm over the wooden planks surrounded by water on all sides. 📍 How to Get There: Take tram or bus to Pornaistenniemi, then follow the marked boardwalks (about 25–30 minutes to Lammassaari). 💡 Tip: Go early morning or evening — the light over the swamps turns everything into a soft, glowing dream ☁️✨ Lammassaari’s swamps remind you that even in Helsinki, wild nature still breathes quietly beside the city, waiting to be explored one slow step at a time.
