Reserve between Lepikönkatu and Varvikonkatu, Hallila, Tampere, Finland

It can be found here on Google map.

Hallila is worthy of study - a kind of island of suburbia (flats and houses) inside a forest, probably dating from the 70s. This is a pathway from Loukkankatu, leading into the space. 

 Then it gets a little more rustic once we lead off from Lepikönkatu.
It's a classic forested interior park although it has a well-worn path along one (eastern) edge, and some minor useful features installed.

 If you can call it that, actually, you probably shouldn't.


I was taken by this house on the north-eastern edge of the path, these people are - in the nicest possible way - exhibitionists I'd say.

 The front of their house.

All in all, a satisfactory, and obviously valued, little space that is mainly taken up with quite impenetrable forest. But there's forest everywhere here: check the map, and you'll see that south of this space is a large forested space which most local houses back onto. This is the pathway going into that space on the other side of Lepikönkatu.

The next pictures are just the pathway going through the forest between Lepikönkatu and Näreikönkatu:
