Hiking

Former castle complex situated on a hill, which was probably laid out by the Swedes at the beginning of the 13th century

Hiking

Perched high above the hustle and bustle of central Porvoo in peaceful Iso Linnamäki Park, it's hard to imagine that it was the scene of fierce battles during the Great Northern War in the 18th century. Half a millennium ago there was a castle dominating the entire Porvoo River Valley. It was probably built by the Swedes during their conquest of the East. The steep moats around the top of Linnamäki Hill are a reminder of the past.

Cycling

Site of an old castle, nowadays all that's left to see is a series of circular earthworks. Cycling is forbidden on the earthworks themselves.
