Liessaari Nature- & Wellness Trail, Uusimaa, Finland

4.5 (3 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #4 in Lohja Scenic Walking Areas

An easy-to-follow path on an island connected with a bridge to mainland

The trail is about 2 kilometers long and quite well marked with informative boards. There are hazel plants (Corylus avellana), at spring time wood anemones (Anemone nemorosa), hepaticas (Anemone hepatica) and plenty of birds singing specially In the mornings and at sunset. Also spruce, pine and birch trees. Great lake views from the old quarry. There is also a campfire site and lean-to shelter at Liessaari. The wellness trail boards offer information how visitors can draw on nature's healing powers to promote their own sense of wellness while the nature information boards on the old trail provide an insight into the island's lush nature. You can park your car at Haikarinniemi parking point, Haikarinkatu 22. Then you go over the bridge and walk along the nature trail or spend some time at the sandy beach. The beach is quite popular at summer but I find the trail most interesting at spring time. You can easily spend here more than 2 hours.
