Saarikierros salaperäisellä Lonnalla

Juho Rautio — Thu, 09 Sep 2021 14:18:27 +0000

Hyppää mukaan tälle kierrokselle Lonnan kauniille ja salaperäiselle saarelle! Teemme saarella noin 45 minuutin kävelykierroksen, jonka aikana saaren historia osana Suomenlinnan linnoitusta ja myöhemmin armeijan miinasaarena avautuu. Vierailemme muuten suljetussa "komentokeskuksessa" ja luonnollisesti ihailemme Helsingin merellistä maisemaa.

Kierrokselle kokoontuminen joko Kauppatorilla Suomen Saaristokuljetus laiturin edessä, josta nousemme klo 13.45 lähtevään alukseen (liput voit ostaa suoraan liikennöitsijän verkkokaupasta) tai jos olet jo Lonnassa tapaamme saaren yhteysaluslaiturilla klo 13.55. Kierroksen jälkeen on mahdollista jäädä nauttimaan kauden viimeisestä päivästä ihanaan Lonnaan ja sen palveluiden äärelle, tai vaihtoehtoisesti lähteä takaisin mantereelle klo 15.05 lähtevällä aluksella.

Kierroksen hinta on 15 euroa (ei sisällä laivalippua) ja liput tulee varata etukäteen verkkokaupastamme, minimi osallistujamäärä on 4 henkilöä.

Tervetuloa tutustumaan Helsingin kauniiseen saaristoon!
