Nature observation towers
Kortejärvi nature observation tower Kortejärvi lakefront is the perfect spot for observing the nature. You can climb up the nature observation tower and take a break at the resting place. There is also a publication about the Kortejärvi nature.
Nuutajärvi nature observation tower was built in 2019, and it is situated in the west end of the Nuutajärvi lake. You can walk to the tower from the glass village along the road which crosses the manor estate.
More information on the tower and more detailed information on the location: facebook.com/nuutajarvenluontotorni
A few things to note: if you arrive by car, you can park in the spot marked in the map. From the road by the lakefront you can walk by the side of the field. Please do not cross the field. You should approach the tower quietly and without rush because there may be birds just next to the tower. The builders of the tower for example spotted a common moorhen which is also called a waterhen. It had not been spotted in Urjala before - that we know of. Welcome and enjoy the nature!
