Finnoo birdwatching tower (eastern)

There are two birdwatching towers along the Finnoo nature trail, on different sides of Finnoonlahti. The nature trail is easy to walk, even with a pram. The birdwatching towers are not accessible.

Finnoviken, or Finnoonlahti, is an old sea bay that was dammed in the 1960s to create a precipitation basin for a wastewater treatment plant. The shallow sea bay is a significant bird wetland both regionally and nationally. The Finnoo birdwatching towers are excellent places for observing birds, as the area has a lot of birds and they can, at times, be observed very closely. The most important species nesting in the area include the moorhen, the Slavonian grebe and the black-headed gull.

The nearest parking place can be found at Hyljeluodontie 3, which is about 500 metres away from the eastern birdwatching tower and about 600 metres away from the southern tower. The birdwatching towers are also only a short walk away from the Finnoo metro station.
