Lonely Planet review for Pyynikki Ridge & Observation Tower

Rising between Tampere's two lakes, this ridge is a forested area of walking and cycling trails with fine views on both sides. It rises 85m above the shores of the lake; this is an Everest by Finnish standards and claims to be the highest gravel ridge in the world. There's an old stone observation tower on the ridge, which also has a great café serving Tampere's best doughnuts.

You can easily walk or drive to the tower, or take westbound bus 15 to its terminus and walk back from there along the ridge.
