The route takes you to one of the finest springs in Finland. The water bubbling from the bottom sand of Uhrilähde and Kylmänmyllynlähde shapes the landscape of the springs. The circumferential sand statues bubble from the bottom and the sand seems to live. The route is unobstructed and there is a spacious viewing platform on the edge of both sources.
