Accessible nature services
In recent years, Tampere has also invested in providing accessible nature services, so that everyone would have the opportunity to enjoy the unique nature experiences of our nearby nature. In the Kintulammi camping area, a barrier-free route has been implemented up to the unique Kirkkokivi lean-to shelter, and the Tohloppi nature trail offers a completely barrier-free option.
Ekokumppanit will continue to actively develop the city’s accessible nature services in 2023 as well.
