In English:

Laajasalo – the biggest island of Helsinki and Helsinki’s 49th district in eastern Helsinki

Part 3.

Visiting Laajasalo (Degerö in Swedish) is easy. Take metro which goes to Itäkeskus or Myllypuro. Hop off at Herttoniemi subway station. Walk out of subway station and take some of these buses: 84 – Gunillankallio, 85 – Jollas , 88 and 88B – Kaitalahti and Kruunuvuorenranta, 89 – Yliskylä. There are other bus routes, but I suggest to You these routes. You can hop off anytime or at final stop. Where You decide to hop off, start walking. As soon as possible, choose a path. Everywhere on the island, there are cycling and walking paths. Selecting path, they give to You an excellent way to explore the island. Getting lost – no, because every path lead to some road and on roads there is traffic. When returning all the busses are marked with sign Herttoniemi.

The nature varies from well-kept parks to rocks and small forests. The building style vary from apartment house to detached houses. There are also semidetached houses. The architecture varies depending in which decades they are built. Some houses have beautiful gardens. The best of Laajasalo is its nature. Depending where Your walking tour takes, You can imagine that You are in the jungle on some areas. We love taking our walking tours wandering along the seaside paths. The island is not big, because You walk from the farthest place in an hour and ten minutes to Herttoniemi metro station, but enough big to explore its beauty and variety.

In the middle of Laajasalo, there is a place called Yliskylä, bus 89, the quite new two-storied shopping center called Saari (island). It is nice place where You can enjoy in all peace your coffee with some yummy. I suggest!. It offers of course everything for residents. Coffee shops and restaurants are of high quality and they offer a nice place to sniff the atmosphere on the island. If You want walk from Saari shopping center to Herttoniemi, it takes about 20 minutes walk. Well, there is a huge park, which I recommend, on the way and it is worth for a visit. Everywhere on the island there are also rentable city bikes.

In this post, I am interested in to know what You see in two last photos.

Welcome and start Your adventure!

En español:

Laajasalo: la isla más grande de Helsinki y el distrito 49 de Helsinki en el este de Helsinki

Parte 3.

Visitando Laajasalo (Degerö en sueco) es fácil. Toma el metro que va a Itäkeskus o Myllypuro.Desembarque en la estación de metro de Herttoniemi. Salga de la estación de metro y toma algunos de estos autobuses: 84 – Gunillankallio, 85 – Jollas, 88 y 88B – Kaitalahti y Kruunuvuorenranta, 89 – Yliskylä. Hay otras rutas de autobús, pero te sugiero estas rutas. Puedes saltar en cualquier momento o en la última parada. En cualquier sitio decides saltar, comienza a caminar. Tan pronto como sea posible, elige un camino. En todas partes de la isla, hay rutas de ciclismo y senderismo. Seleccionando el camino, te dan una excelente manera de explorar la isla. No se perderá, porque todos los caminos conducen a alguna carretera y en las carreteras hay tráfico. Al regresar todos los buses están marcados con el signo Herttoniemi.

La naturaleza varía de parques bien cuidados a rocas y pequeños bosques. El estilo de las construcciones varían de casas de apartamentos a casas unifamiliares. También hay casas pareadas. La arquitectura varía según las décadas de construcción. Algunas casas tienen hermosos jardines. Lo mejor de Laajasalo es su naturaleza. Dependiendo de dónde lleve tu paseo a pie, vos puede imaginar que estás en la selva en algunas áreas. Nos encanta tomar nuestros recorridos a pie por los senderos del mar. La isla no es grande, porque caminas desde el lugar más alejado en una hora y diez minutos hasta la estación de metro de Herttoniemi, pero lo suficientemente grande como para explorar su belleza y variedad.

En el centro de Laajasalo, hay un lugar llamado Yliskylä, autobús 89, el nuevo centro comercial de dos pisos llamado Saari (isla). Es un lugar agradable donde puede disfrutar en toda su tranquilidad su café con un poco de delicioso. ¡Yo sugiero! Ofrece naturalmente todo para los residentes. Las cafeterías y los restaurantes son de alta calidad y ofrecen un lugar agradable para olfatear el ambiente de la isla. Si quieres caminar desde el centro comercial Saari a Herttoniemi, lleva unos 20 minutos a pie. Bueno, hay un gran parque, que recomiendo, en el camino y vale la pena una visita. En todas partes de la isla también hay bicicletas de la ciudad para alquilar.

En este post, me interesa saber lo qué vos ves en las últimas dos fotos.

¡Bienvenido y comienza tu aventura!

Partie 3.

Visitant Laajasalo (Degerö en suédois) est facile. Prenez le métro qui va à Itäkeskus ou à Myllypuro. Descendez à la station de métro d’Herttoniemi. Sortez du métro et prenez quelques-uns de ces bus: 84 – Gunillankallio, 85 – Jollas, 88 et 88B – Kaitalahti et Kruunuvuorenranta, 89 – Yliskylä. Bien sûr que, il y a d’autres itinéraires de bus, mais je vous suggère ces itinéraires. Vous pouvez descendre à tout moment ou au dernier arrêt. Où vous décidez de descendre, commencez à marcher. Dès que possible, choisissez un sentier. Partout sur l’île, il y a des pistes cyclables et des sentiers de randonnée. En sélectionnant le chemin, ils vous donnent un excellent moyen d’explorer l’île. Se perdre – non, car chaque sentier mène à une route et sur les routes il y a du trafic. Lors du retour, tous les bus sont marqués du signe Herttoniemi, pas problème.

La nature varie des parcs bien entretenus à des rochers et de petites forêts. Le style de construction varie des appartements à des maisons individuelles. Il y a aussi des maisons jumelées. L’architecture varie selon des décennies de construction. Certaines maisons ont de beaux jardins. Le meilleur de Laajasalo est sa nature. Selon l’endroit où vous baladez, vous pouvez imaginer que vous êtes dans la jungle à certains endroits. Nous aimons nous balader dans les sentiers de littoral. L’île n’est pas très grande, Vous pouvez atteindre la station de métro Herttoniemi en une heure et dix minutes, mais elle est suffisamment grande pour explorer sa beauté et sa diversité.

Au centre de Laajasalo, il y a un endroit appelé Yliskylä, bus 89, le tout nouveau centre commercial à deux étages appelé Saari (île). C’est un endroit agréable où vous pourrez savourer en toute tranquillité votre café avec délicieux morceaux de gâteau. Je suggère! Il offre bien entendu tout pour les résidents. Les cafés et les restaurants sont de grande qualité et offrent un endroit agréable pour sentir l’atmosphère de l’île. Si vous voulez marcher du centre commercial Saari à Herttoniemi, cela prend environ 20 minutes à pied. Eh bien, il y a un immense parc que je recommande en cours de route et qui vaut le détour. Partout sur l’île, il existe également des vélos de ville louables.

Dans ce post, je suis intéressé de savoir ce que vous voyez dans les deux dernières photos.

Bienvenue et commencez votre aventure!

Você pode sair a qualquer momento ou na última parada. Em qualquer lugar que você decidir pular, comece a andar. Assim que possível, escolha um caminho. Em todas as partes da ilha, existem ciclovias e trilhas para caminhadas. Ao selecionar o caminho, você tem uma excelente maneira de explorar a ilha.

Those last 2 photos definitely show a dinosaur in the woods. It looks great. I love Finland, on your pictures it looks so colourful and vibrant, so pure and fresh. I can almost smell the fresh air. I definitely have to visit Finland one day.

  Sounds good. Sodankylä is small place, but during the festival there must be great fun. There are two wooden churches, of which the old one is from 1689! If You have time, then climb to the top of Arctic hill of Kiilopää. It is easy to climb, but worth to visit the hill top.

Hola !!!
Preciosas fotos y muy sugerente post sobre las bellezas del Helsinki periférico.
Estuve en el Sibelius Parken y por supuesto en el monumento a Sibelius y todo a su alrededor me pareció una maravilla, el lago, los bosques……..
Me encanta que nos hayas enseñado otra parte más para visitar en la bella Helsinki.
Saludos Mati.

    Es muy bonito el bosque que relatas, así que te sugiero que sigas deleitándonos con tus bonitos relatos y fotos.
    Estuve en Helsinki hace 6 años y hace 5 años sobrevolé los alrededores cuando hice una escala en el aeropuerto. Desde el aire los alrededores de la capital me fascinaron, es una preciosidad.
    A punto estuve de bajarme en Helsinki aunque iba para Delhi. Jaja.
    Tengo que volver a ese precioso pais.
    Que tengas una buena semana.

    - Que linda Louisa.
      
      Helsinki es hermosa en verano y especialmente a mediados de verano. Siempre deseo que los turistas hagan también excursiones cortas a las ciudades vecinas. Simplemente ofrecen experiencias que Helsinki no ofrece.
      
      Mi favorito es Porvoo, que ofrece el encantador casco antiguo con casas coloridas. Hyvinkää con su museo ferroviario. Hämeenlinna con increíbles posibilidades para caminar entre la naturaleza pura. Hay un viejo castillo que cuenta nuestra historia. Finalmente Lohja donde se encuentra una hermosa iglesia antigua. En todas sus paredes están llenas de pinturas con elementos religiosos. Especilly ellos me encanta cómo esos artistas de la iglecia muestran zapatos zapatos! Mi padre era zapatero, así que esto explica mi interés.
      
      ¡Que tengas un buen día!

        Me encanta todas las sugerencias que me haces porque SI está Helsinki en mi hoja de ruta, de nuevo, en cuanto pueda.
        Me encantará ver la iglesia que mencionas ya que me parece muy curioso lo de los zapatos. Aunque mi padre no haya sido zapatero, igualmente me parece muy interesante y diferente.
        Fuerte abrazo.

        Possiblente Louisa. 🙂
        
        Tu palabra Duende me recordó la vieja canción muy popular finlandesa:
        
        Rayo de sol y duende
        
        Es en finlandesa, pero me lo tradujo para ti::
        
        Sucedió cuando el sol se puso. Que un rayo de sol, por un momento. De sus hermanas dejadas atrás. El crepúsculo ya se arrastró y la viga, con sus alas doradas. Estaba a punto de volar cuando ella detectó a este duende más pequeño acercándose. Eso acababa de salir de su guarida. Los duendes no pueden vagar por la tierra hasta que después del atardecer. No viven a la luz del día, no.
        
        Mirando el uno al otro, El duende, en el pecho se sintió más bien, extraño tipo de llama y ardor. Dijo él: “Quema mis ojos, esto lo haces. Pero nunca en mi vida he visto algo tan maravilloso! No importa que tu brillo ciegue mis ojos para siempre …En la oscuridades bueno vivir. Quédate conmigo, por favor, y te mostraré el camino a la casa -¡Manteniéndote como mi propia preciosa entonces!
        
        El rayo respondió: “Duende, querido, la oscuridad sería mi perdición. Y no tengo deseos de morir. Debo volar lejos ahora de inmediato. Si no vuelvo pronto a la luz del día. Entonces no viviré ni un momento más. Así salió el rayo de sol que hermosa. Pero a este día todavía, mientras el duende pisa solo en la oscuridad, se pregunta por qué uno de nosotros aquí, es un niño de luz y la otra noche ama.
        
        Mi traducción solo da una idea. El video también tiene texto en inglés.
        
        Buen fin de semana.

        Me alegro de que te haya gustado la canción. Hay muchas versiones, pero he seleccionado esta con las letras en inglés. Nuestra música es desconocida para el resto del mundo. Una vez presenté nuestro baile Humppa en el post, Parque de locomotora de vapor. En Finlandia tenemos todos los veranos, por ejemplo, festivales de tango. Amamos a Tangos y nuestros Tangos tienen melodías que rompen el corazón. Abrazo!

        Que gracioso la afición por el tango. No se me hubiese ocurrido.
        Hay muchas cosas que desconocemos de otros paises, a veces del propio también.

Finland and Sweden are next door, so it’s easy to get there.
There is a lot of green, and I feel that it is ♪ northern Europe where fairies live. The flowers are full and beautiful. Is it the same spring as Japan now?

As others have pointed out, it is “clearly” a dinosaur. I can see from your pictures why Finns settled in Wisconsin when they came to the new world. Some of your pictures look like home to me (and others like Up North, where my parents grew up and there are more Finns than down here).

  Quelle douce musique que tes mots! N’est-ce pas drôle que la nature puisse être belle dans cette région où les touristes ne se rendent jamais! Merci.
  
  Je te souhaite une agréable journée! Bises.

  - c’est vrai que la sœur de mon mari revient d’un voyage en Norvège et je connais des personnes qui vont en Suède….mais personne ne parle de Finlande 😦
    mais ma fille aînée projette de faire un jour le voyage en Finlande pour voir le village du Père-Noel 😉

    - Maly,
      
      La Finlande est comme et Trou Blanc en Afrique, dans les temps, quand les explorateurs ont fait des voyages. Je pense que vous avez entendu de Pierre de Moreau de Maupertuis. C’était lui qui a visité la Finlande dans les années 1700! Jetez un oeil à mon post de 2010:
      
      Colline de Aavasaksa
      
      Je suis ravi d’apprendre que votre fille se rendra en Finlande. Quelle saison?
      
      Matti

        En hiver ça va. Le meilleur temps, si je pense de la neige, c’est de la fin janvier au début avril. Bien sûr, d’autres temps sont possibles, mais ceux-ci sont les meilleurs! Sait-elle sur le plus grand château de neige du monde!

        oui elle le sait car je lui ai montré tes photos et c’est pour cela qu’elle veut venir en hiver! 😉
        elle aime beaucoup la neige et pourtant elle a vécu deux ans en Polynésie française 🙂

Again I get the feeling it’s not only an extremely nice place to visit, Laajasalo Island really offers a lot for those permanently living there! The parks and forests on the one hand, infrastructure, shopping possibilities and perfect location of even a lot of new built houses on the other hand.
(It’s therefore a bit sad to remember in this regard what you told about the reasons for your decision to move in autumn ….)

Such beautiful photos! Thank you for showing more of Laajasalo in this 3rd part of your series about the “Unkown Helsinki”!

- Hello Michèle.
  
  You left very kind comment in which I noticed that I have had success when presenting this unknown part of Helsinki. It has been a great joy to wander around the island on its paths with my wife. I am sure that we will find also great places around our future home.
  
  Next post finalizes this series when we search ghost houses and of course, Anja will be Your safe guide! 🙂
  
  All the best,
  Matti

  Best part of Finland is Lapland. One simple example:

So after looking all your 33 posts I need no longer travel to Finland? I hope a bit more to discover in your homeland where the lakes and forests look as in Berlin. Cheers,@ Ulli

So many flowers everywhere, very pretty. My favorite are the purple flowers in the photo of your wife, that is such a pretty shot. And those pigs are really cute.

- Hello ourlittleredhouseblog.
  
  Thank You for Your kind words and loving my photos. Those flowers are called Rhododendrons. When we live on countryside, we had them few bushes. They are unique plans, because they are green in winter also. I have photos of them in my blog. If You are interested in to see them, then here:

I also like the broken rock – was Thor known to have wandered round those parts? 😉

- Thank you, sir. Maybe who knows. 🙂 My unknown Helsinki offers rocks on many areas. In the first post I showed different kinds of stone there.
