The Rissla forest trail takes you along paths and roads to nearby forests. Along the route are scenic areas and a campfire site, as well as historically interesting sites such as the old Rissla power station structures. The Rissla dam and electric power plant were built in 1899 due to increased need for electricity in Fiskars. The total length of the Rissla forest trail is about 4km. The route starts and ends just outside the city center. You can take the route in either direction. Parking at Fiskars Market.
