Hietasaari, born from the sea, has served as a holiday residence in summer since the 1850s. Thousands of ships used to load pine wood tar at Toppila Harbor, which was the main harbor until the 1950s. Join us to hear stories about the colorful history of the island.
During the last decades Hietasaari has developed into a modern residential area and holiday resort, preserving nature values. Come and explore the biodiversity of the woodlands and seashores, birds singing all around. Can you still find old villas and see boats floating to the harbor? Did you know that wood anemones grow there?
You can book the guided Hietasaari tour as 1-2-hour walking or cycling tour according to the clients’ wishes. The guidance can be in Finnish, English or German.
