This Vartioharju nature walk moves through the surroundings of the ancient Vartiokylä hillfort and Vartiokylänlahti. The outing looks at local plants and birds, including bedstraw and sticky catchfly on the hillfort and warblers in the stream valley. There is also a large broken erratic boulder to wonder about along the way.
