Hiking trails of Helsinki Region: Laaksolahti sports track and Lähderanta beach trail
Welcome to Lähderanta in Espoo. The Laaksolahti fitness trail connects to the shoreline route along Lake Pitkäjärvi at Lähderanta, and it's quite impressive. But just out of curiosity, I took the first picture along the way, combining a great vantage point with ruins, which makes it a bit tempting, doesn't it...

Hiking trails of Helsinki Region: The River Glims and Glims Hiking Trail
Welcome to the Glims River in Espoo. Glims together with its sister river Gloms form the Espoo River. This is a short story of a walk along the Glims River, from the bottom of Lake Pitkäjärvi to Lake Kirkkojärvi. I made the trip on the last day of April 2016. The sun was shining and the weather was good, and after spring rains the water was flowing.
