The Accessible Nature Trail at Kuninkaanlähde

Kuninkaanlähde is named after King Adolf Fredrik. He and his entourage stopped by the spring in 1752 while traveling through Finland on their way north. The king traveled along the Kyrönkangas Road, one of Finland’s medieval highways. The road was known for its wilderness, as there were only a few houses along the nearly 100-kilometer stretch running from Hämeenkangas to Pohjankangas.

Kuninkaanlähde was already a tourist hub in the 19th century. Near the spring, there is a small hotel, a RV park, restaurants, and other services. The Pirkan Trail runs close to the spring. The spring is easily accessible via a new, barrier-free trail. The trail starts at a new parking area built along Kyrönkankaantie.
