Heart of the swamp, Lahti

We start our trip from the gate of the local recycling centre. Lahti is the European green capital 2021 and recycling level in the city is remarkably high. From recycling centre we walk about 1,5 km to Linnaisten suo, one of the largest nature reservation areas in Lahti.

There is a wooden path through the swamp. Spruce trees and pine forest are surrounding the swamp area and there are living many birds in these forests. In the middle of the swamp, you will feel like in the real wilderness, though only 7 km from Lahti city centre.
