Pyynikki Park and Observation Tower

New York has Central Park, but how many cities can boast about having a central forest? One of the Tampere city centre neighborhoods, Pyynikki, is home to a gorgeous pine tree forest on top of a ridge. In the forest there is an illuminated jogging trail that becomes a skiing trail in the winter, and the view from the high cliffs will take your breath away.
