During summer it's a great place too see Parelduiker and Roodkeelduiker. Zeearend is also a regular visitor.

The nearest bus stop is about 1,1 km away, along the Valkeakoski - Pälkäne road. You may park your car at Valmarinniemi, either at Valmarintie 98 or Valmarintie 104. Press a P on the map for directions. From the parking place, you should walk about 500 metres northeast to reach the eastern cape.

Extra info

In the eastern cape, there is also a nice fire place, but you need to bring yourself either firewoods or charcoals, if you wish to grill something.

And don't worry, if there are already other outdoor enthusiasts, just say hello and explain that you came to watch birds.
