Tulliniemi Nature Trail leads to Cape Tulliniemi, the southernmost point of Finnish mainland. The trail is a bit over three kilometers in one direction. Then you have to walk back along the same trail. There aren't any services there. However, Cafe Oasis is situated near the parking place (address Tulliniementie 1) of the trail. The trail leads past the huge port facilities of Hanko. You see imported cars etc. on the left. On the right you see beautiful sea views. The end of the headland is a nature reserve. You even may see rare plants, butterflies, birds or bats. Signposts with interesting facts are both in Finnish, Swedish and English. During and after the war Tulliniemi was a very important place. So you see many war memories, too. Hanko was leased by Soviet Union in 1940 and barracks with two large accommodation blocks were built. However, during the war 1941-1944 Tulliniemi was leased by German forces and then over 100 barracks blockhouses were built. After Germans left, Tulliniemi was used e.g. as a camp were prisoners of war were interrogated. In 1948 Tulliniemi was converted into a labor camp for women convicted for crimes. It was used until the 1960s. The best part of this trail is situated in the end of the cape. There you see the wonderful sea scenery. There are beautiful rocks or cliffs and some tables there. So this is a good place to have a picnic.
