Santalahti Nature Trail, Kymenlaakso, Finland
5.0 (15 reviews) Spent 2-3 hours Ranking #12 in Kotka Hiking Trails
Finnish nature in its best
The trail starts basically from our backyard, so we hike or run through it pretty often. There are two alternatives in lenght 4 or 6kms, which are marked, but if you want, there are plenty of unmarked trails to take also. The area is confined by the sea and the Santalahti golf course, so no worry about getting too lost. Just pick a direction and follow it if you lose your bearings. Here you get to see the true nature of local coastal enviroment with splendid views to the sea. Info signs are posted to point out different features that are typical to the area. Surface of the trail varies from the rock to soft/wet ground in which spots there are wooden footbridges set up. This is an easily accessible spot for individuals or families interested in nature and capable of hiking few kilometres. Just wear clothig appropriate to the weather and enjoy for a few hours.

Beautiful trails
If you have time to spend about 90 min - 2 h I can truly recommend to you a walking trip to Santalahti luontopolku (Santalahti Nature trail) There is two different trails and a both are about 2,5 km long. Walking this trail you will find how versatile Finnish nature really is. Please remember that in Finland we have so called everyman's rights that means that you have a right to pick up berries, mushroom etc. when you are walking in a trails.

There are not many trails like this in southern Finland and so close to Helsinki and Russian board. This one of the best kept secret in Finland.Do not miss this and its free.
