Herttoniemenranta Place Names Walk

Why are pedestrian paths named after pitchers and canisters? This walk introduces you to the place names of Herttoniemenranta and the history behind them.

Along the way, you can share your own memories of the area - the walk suits both former residents and city explorers discovering Helsinki's neighbourhoods.

The meeting and return point is Adriananpuistikko park in front of Herttoniemenranta primary school (Petter Wetterin tie 5). The distance is approximately 2.5 km. The route is largely accessible, but there are kerbs between pavements and streets, some paths have gravel surfaces, and there may be hills on the route. We stop several times during the walk.

Prepare for the weather with appropriate clothing and outdoor shoes.
