Aurajoenrannan Path: Upper End of Aura River

This is a scenic, easy trail run through parks and preserves at the northern end of the Aura River in Turku. The Aurajoenrannan is a gravel path forming a 6 km loop on the east and west banks of the river, crossing over at the Hallisbron Bridge (Halistensilta). The landscape is fairly open, with paths passing through fields and some sections of allée type paths lined with specimen trees. Note that even though the path is through waterfront parks, it’s not alongside the river and there aren’t much of the way of water views. The footing is generally easy.
