Mobilia ›

3 relaxing nature experiences

Hervantajärvi hiking area ›

In the Hervantajärvi hiking area, there are about 10 km of guided hiking trails and 2 campfire sites, of which Viitastenperä is unique, organically designed lean-to shelter with woodshed and dry toilets. The area is used in a variety of ways, for example for walking, mountain biking and trail running. Unguided nature trails continue from Viitastenpera to Kangasala's Kaarinanpolku and Lempäälä's Birgitan polku.

How to get there? The Hervantajärvi hiking area is located on the south side of Hervanta, right next to the municipalities of Lempäälä and Kangasala (Hervantajärvi hiking area, Tampere). The terminus of tram line 3 and bus line 13 is located just a few hundred meters from the hiking area's borders.

Pyynikki nature trail ›

Pyynikki ridge is a significant geological formation and is considered to be the highest gravel ridge in the world. Along the trail, you can get acquainted with the vegetation typical to this ridge and grove environment. The trail starts from the Pyynikki observation tower and is about 4 kilometres in length. From the top of the observation tower, you can admire the view across the whole city and enjoy a break at the legendary doughnut café.

How to get there? The nature trail is recommended to start from Pyynikki’s observation tower (Näkötornintie 20) and go around the route counterclockwise, but you can of course deviate from the path at any crossing point. Several buses go to Pyynikki, and a tram line 3 goes about 700 meters away.

Iso Naistenjärvi area ›

Pirkkala's popular hiking site has a shed, a campfire place, and a toilet. Around Erämaajärvi there are many winding duckboards and paths. Nearby you can also find the high cliff Taaporinvuori and the giant boulder Pirunkivi.

How to get there? The route to Iso-Naistenjärvi offers a versatile forest trip in Pirkkala, right next to Tampere (Iso-Naistenjärvi, Pirkkala). Buses don't go all the way there, but bus line 11 runs a couple of kilometers away.
