Kallahdenniemi Beach is a stunning shallow beach on the Kallahti Peninsula foreland. It is a very family-friendly beach with lifeguard supervision, dressing rooms, showers, and toilets, along with a nearby car park for easy access. It is a beautiful beach in the summer or winter.

Diverse vegetation is also resilient and adapts to changes in land-use and variation in weather conditions. The extent of the services that wetlands provide to people depend on wetland design and well-being, as well as on land-use within the contributing watershed and weather dependent pollutant loads. Constructed wetlands typically consist of a flow dissipating and heavy sediment settling inlet pond, a vast shallow emergent plant covered wetland, and a sediment settling outlet pond. The Säynäslanhdenpuro Wetland consists of three parallel research wetlands with flow and pollutant load monitoring facilitating outlet dams.

A stormwater wetland is a constructed transitional landscape between water and dry land. Wetlands are natural water detention and purification landscapes. Constructed wetlands are thus established to compensate for challenges to water environment brought about by land-use change. Urban wetlands dissipate and detain runoff thereby preventing flooding and drought extremes. Water quality is mitigated through sediment settling, and purification of soluble pollutants by wetland plants, microbes and soils. Diversity of plants and their associated microbes is a key element in purifying urban waters.

Land-use change in urban areas from natural to impervious surfaces such as roofs, paved yards and asphalt roads prevents water infiltration and storage within the watershed. Runoff travels quickly over impervious surfaces collecting and carrying everything from surfaces to catch basins and sewers. Impacts visible at the storm sewer outlets to urban streams include flooding, drought and erosion. Depending on land-use within the watershed, runoff carries harmful substances such as nutrients, heavy met- als, oils and rubbish. The receiving water body suffers from habitat degradation while the impervious and drained watershed often experiences draught and heat.

The cooking shelter, lean-to shelter, firewood shed and dry toilet at the Fiskträsk rest area which is located slightly east of the trail on the shore of Fiskträsk Lake. There is also a campfire site in connection with the lean-to shelter. There is a camping area next to the cooking shelter. There are duckboards on the wet sections of the Fiskträsk Trail. There are no campsites outside Fiskträsk.

I managed on the path with tyres ment for asphalt. Partly path has big stones and roots of the trees on the way but mostly route is enjoyable with bicycle. By The Lake of Bisa there are wooden bences built right near the water, where you can eat your picnic or just enjoy the view. Also next to the lake is a rocky hill. On the top of the hill is cooking shelter, where you clime up along built stairs. The view is beautifull, over the lake area.

The large and soft-sand Aurinkolahti beach is located in Vuosaari and attracts visitors of all ages to one of the city's best beaches. It is easy to get to the beach by public transport, as the Vuosaari metro station is located one kilometer from the beach. You can see the water temperature and blue-green algae information of the swimming beach in summer in the ulkoliikunta.fi map service. Lifeguards supervise the beach during the beach season. The beach has outdoor showers, changing rooms, toilets and a cafe. There is also a channel for light water traffic from Uimaranta, which can be accessed by canoe, kayak or paddle board. Arrival: There is a large parking area and an INVA parking lot near the beach. In addition to this, you can get to the beach with public and city bikes. Additional information about the place Lifeguards Services: cloakroom, outdoor shower, toilet, cafe, ice cream kiosk, outdoor gym, paddle board rental, light water transport channel Source and more information about Helsinki Swimming Beaches here: https://liikunta.hel.fi/
