About this place
Pirttimäki and Karjakaivo form an integrated whole. This wilderness area, shaped by the Ice Age, is characterised by large differences in altitude. The peaceful landscape is dominated by steep rocky slopes and erratic boulders, many beautiful-shored lakes and ponds, and lush bogs and wetlands. The area has a 1.8-hectare hazel grove. The City of Helsinki purchased the forest estate, known as Dahlbacka, in 1946. The Finnish name Pirttimäki quickly became established for the area. Through years of acquisitions, the area has grown to its current size, over 430 hectares. - Parking area near the main building - Information board near the main building - Café in connection with the main building, in the eastern part of the area near Kunnarlantie - Clubroom in connection with the main building, also well-suited for meeting and training facilities - Fireplace room and small cottage, near the main building, open Mon - Sun 9.00 - 16.00 - Saunas near the main building - Toilets at Sorlampi, Hynkänlampi and Sulalampi - Cooking shelters, 4 cooking shelters, open fires forbidden elsewhere - Local sports facility - Playground and ball courts near the main building, ball courts suitable for badminton, volleyball and football - Outdoor routes; 20 km of signposted outdoor routes, of which 16 km are gravel-surfaced and 4 km are natural-surfaced.
