Plan your trip

Follow the signs to the route from the corner of the parking lot. After about a 30-meter walk, you will reach a junction. Turn left according to the signpost, where after about 40 meters of walking you will arrive at the viewing platform by Uhrilähde. At the spring, you will see several groundwater discharge points where water gushes to the surface. From Uhrilähde, continue back to the previously mentioned junction and follow the signpost directions to Kylmämyllynlähde, which is about 180 meters from the junction. Upon arrival at the spring, you can explore it from the viewing platform. You will see countless groundwater discharge points of various sizes at the bottom of the spring. A boardwalk path leads from the viewing platform to a smaller viewing platform in the spruce forest by the spring. After exploring the spring, return the same way back to the Uhrilähde parking lot.
