The 26 meter high red granite Pyynikki Observation Tower was built in 1929. From the platform above you can enjoy a fantastic view over Tampere and its surroundings. There is a cozy café on the ground floor where you can try the Finnish specialty "Munkki". The tower is open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. (until 9 p.m. in summer).

Härmälä Beach Park

Highlight • Forest

You cycle through Härmälä Beach Park without really seeing the water from the bike path. Still, it’s worth the ride. There are plenty of quiet forest trails where you can enjoy your ride. Keep an eye out for picnic spots.

Hatanpää Lakeside Route

Highlight • Trail

I recommend anybody who visits Tampere to ride this part. It is so nice. There are many different paths, but the most beautiful coasting the lake. Afternoon lights are special here. Easy cycling. Some ups and downs, but easy ones.

In the south of Tampere, you can walk here along the piers and look at the small boats before continuing your way towards the parks of Hatanpää.
