Vartiovuoren yönäkymä - Turku, Finland - Scenic at Night on Waymarking.com

[FIN] Vartiovuoren päällä kulkee polku noin 50 metrin korkeudessa. Juuri tästä kohdasta on loistava näkymä kohti Turun Tuomiokirkkoa ja koillista Turkua. Paikalle pääsee esimerkiksi Uudenmaankadun suunnasta portaita pitkin (130 askelmaa) tai Vartiovuoren puiston muista poluista. Alueelle ei pääse autolla. Polut on valaistu öisin. Paras ajankohta on talvisin pimeän aikaan, jolloin on mahdollista katsella myös tähtitaivasta.

Vartiovuoren nimi kertoo mäen historiasta. Jos vihollinen uhkasi Turkua mereltä, annettiin Turun linnasta tulella merkkejä sisämaahan päin. Linnasta lähetetyt varoitukset otettiin vastaan ensimmäisenä Vartiovuorelta, josta ne välitettiin edelleen kaupunkiin päin. Paikalla on ollut myös palotorni, mutta se on purettu.


[EN] There is a path on top of the Vartiovuori hill at an altitude of about 50 meters. It is from this point that there is a great view towards Turku Cathedral and northeast Turku. You can get there, for example, from the direction of Uudenmaankatu by stairs (130 steps) or from other paths in Vartiovuori Park. The area is not accessible by car. The trails are lit at night. The best time in the winter is during the dark, when it is also possible to watch the starry sky.

The name of the Vartiovuori (Guardmountain) tells the history of the hill. If the enemy threatened Turku from the sea, fire signals were given inland from Turku Castle. The warnings sent from the castle were first received from Vartiovuori, from where they were passed on to the city. There has also been a fire tower on site, but it has been demolished.
