Today, it offers museums, small boutiques, cafés, and summer theatre, all within walking distance. Cyclists can enjoy the peaceful countryside roads leading to the site, and equipment rentals are available for those wanting to explore the surrounding nature. It’s a great cultural stop with something for every visitor.

Katariina Seaside Park in Kotka is a spacious and versatile coastal park built on historic fortress ruins and a former oil harbour. It offers wide grassy areas, sea views, and various activities like frisbee golf, fitness equipment, and a large Moomin-themed playground. The park is ideal for picnics, with barbecue spots and even Finland’s largest stone picnic table by the sea. Cyclists can enjoy the coastal path connecting it to nearby Sapokka Water Garden, passing lighthouses and a peaceful meditation labyrinth on the way. The park's quality and design have earned it the Green Flag Award, making it a top stop for outdoor lovers.

Kotka National Urban Park is a diverse and fascinating area that combines nature, history, and industrial heritage. The park stretches from the Gulf of Finland’s maritime coast to the Kymijoki River, including green spaces, old fortifications, and architectural landmarks. Cyclists can enjoy scenic coastal routes, forested trails, and riverside paths, passing sites like the Kyminlinna fortress and the Sunila area designed by Alvar Aalto. The park also features historical spots such as the Langinkoski Imperial Fishing Lodge and the former Karhula Glass Factory. With its rich variety of attractions and landscapes, it’s an ideal destination for a full-day cycling adventure.

The Santalahti Nature Trail winds through narrow forest paths before opening up to a stunning rocky coastline. Along the way, you'll be surrounded by dense woodland, eventually emerging to breathtaking views of the sea and numerous small islands. The scenery is truly picturesque, but caution is needed—some rocks drop steeply into the cold waters below.

Wonderful restaurants, shops, coffee houses and all in the most beautiful Finnish ironworks romance.
