Hiking trails of Helsinki Region: Sorlampi trail, 5 km Circle Trail in Nuuksio
The shoreline cliffs offer great views.
There is also a grill shelter on the northeast shore of Sorlammi, sheltered in a hollow.
Next, the road leads south and up to the cliffs.
One of the most well-known sights in Nuuksio is located some distance south of Sorlammi. There is an intersection in the hollow, and from there, you can climb uphill towards Hiidenpesä.
Here is one entrance to Hiidenpesä. It can accommodate nearly ten children inside at the same time, and shorter people can stand upright in the cave. I did not dare to squeeze inside.
The trip continues. Now, we approach the southeast corner of the Sorlammi nature trail.
On the left is the Hackjärvsmossen bog area. The nature trail runs along the edge of the bog at the foot of the slope.
Next, we head up the hills.
One more time up the hills. At this point, the day had already turned into evening.
Next, the nature trail returns to the familiar intersection, which is the shore of Laihalampi. This picture made it into this package for the second time.
