As Vierumäki nature is geographically and historically significant, we must take good care of it.
All of us appreciate pure nature, outdoor activities and the sense of togetherness. There are no trash bins on the trails and nature destinations, so please put any rubbish into your jacket or backpack pocket and recycle it when you return to the Sports Institute area.
You may run into walkers, runners, mountain bikers or electric mountain bike riders on the hiking trails. It is part of good nature etiquette and respect for others to give way to the person travelling by the most strenuous method. If the path is narrow, we recommend getting up from the bike and giving way to the oncoming walker.
