This guided walk starts in the courtyard of Restaurant Koskenranta at Pornaistenniemi. The group first explores Helsinki's waters, birds and autumn, then walks to Kuninkaankartanonsaari at the mouth of the Vantaa River, where Helsinki's history began. Across the bridge, the route continues through Koskipuisto and Verkatehtaanpuisto to consider the parks' past and present. Finally, it crosses Hämeentie to Annala to discuss urban farming then and now, ending in the yard of Annala Villa.
