Itinerary description

Laajalahti is one of the best bird wetlands within the Helsinki-Espoo-Vantaa metropolis. It is a fantastic place to observe birds both during migration and at other times. The nature reserve's trail and bird watching tower offer the perfect services for a day trip. You may also want to see Espoo's Nature House Villa Elfvik.

The accessible trail is about 1 km long and at least 1,2 m wide. It is possible to do an extra loop (230 m) through the bed of fascinating reeds. The strech of the reed is covered with a 1,05 m wide wooden boardwalk with few resting place where you may bypass other visitors. On this strech with a wheelchair you need an assistant due to a slope in the other end of the wooden boardwalk. Elsewhere assistant is not needed. There are information boards along the trail. The first floor of the bird watching tower is accessible, as well as the Nature House itself.
