Päihäniemi Recreational Area
The Päihäniemi recreational area is located on the southern shore of Kattelussaari. Travel there by road or by boat. It has an extensive beach area and an excellent lookout point.
Päihäniemi belongs to an esker conservation area characterised by pine heaths. The recreational area on the beach that opens out to the south is more than one kilometre long. The parking area is located at the western end of the area. When arriving by boat, it is easiest to beach in the mid-part of the area, by steering the bow to the shore. There are historical relics at Päihäniemi: trenches of the Salpa Line (Salpalinja). There is a lookout point high up on a shore bank that has been shaped by the continental ice sheet. You can ascend there along the wooden stairs. The level terrain is easy to walk on. There are three campfire shelters at Päihäniemi.
