another section of the Itäbaana high-quality bike route now complete, the eastern end is a bit dodgy with the garage exit and the onward connection to the next baana segment on the other side of the metro station (I’d just ride on the street) but otherwise excellent

There are several information boards around the Arboretum area. The main information boards are in the vicinity of the Keinumäki birdwatching tower. Bike racks are available nearby the birdwatching towers. Goal ist that we do not attach, lock or lean bikes on trees or structures.

The Tulvaniityn Bridge (Swedish: Flödängsbron) is a pedestrian bridge over the Vantaa River in Helsinki. It was opened on 8 October 2020.[2] The curved girder bridge curves laterally, and its curvature helps, among other things, to stabilize the bridge and give the river room for flooding.[3] The choice of a specially curved bridge type was influenced by the Itika pedestrian bridge in Seinäjoki, which had been completed a few years earlier.[1] Source: https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulvaniitynsilta
