How about heading into nature by bus this Easter? We operate throughout the Easter holidays — and you can reach several great nature destinations by bus!
Letonniemi Nature Conservation Area
Located about six kilometres north of Oulu city centre, Letonniemi offers a 2.7 km nature trail along the shoreline, a fireplace area to enjoy some snacks, and a birdwatching tower perfect for spotting early signs of spring.
You can reach Letonniemi Nature Conservation Area (Rajahaudantie 19, Oulu) by buses 4, 4A, 20B, 21, and 23. From the nearest bus stops, it’s about a 10‑minute walk to the nature trail.

You can reach Vihiluoto (Vihiluoto 10, Kempele) by buses 8 and 9. From the nearest bus stops, it’s about a 5‑minute walk to the nature trail.
Nallikari
