Exploring Suomenlinna south of Helsinki
- Date:
- 12.07.2025
- Characteristic:
- Walk
- Duration:
- 2:30h
- Distance:
- 5.8km
Our travel itinerary included about 24 hours in Helsinki before the follow-up flight further west. Exploiting our massive time confusion -- 6 am in Helsinki was like noon-time in Tokyo, after all -- we headed straight for the city center of Helsinki and from their, using the public ferry, to Suomenlinna, i.e., an island a bit south of the center of Helsinki, which previously was fortified massively. Today, quite a few visit this island, apparently, to see these fortifications. Before mostly following the "main-trail" across the island, we included a short detour to Pikku-Musta and Länsi-Musta, also. At the southern-most part of Suomenlinna, we then made a round around the fortifications before head back to the ferry quay where we had arrived earlier.
