Seminaarinmäki Wellbeing Path.

The Wellbeing Points of Seminaarinmäki are located at four different points around Seminaarinmäki. Open to all the functional wellbeing points are designed to offer students, staff and other users of the area the opportunity to relax and unwind, for example during a day of work or study, in their own local environment – our beautiful campus park. This is also intended to strengthen the connection between the users of the points and nature. Each exercise is accompanied by background research on the well-being effects of nature. A map showing the location of the points and more detailed instructions and background research for the exercises can be found at here.

Self-guided tour of the Seminaarinmäki garden.

With the map and points here, you can take a self-guided tour of the Seminaarinmäki Garden. The walk is about 1km long and takes 30-45min depending on your walking speed. At the points you will get a brief introduction to the areas, plants and history of the school garden of Finland’s first teachers’ seminar.

You can also take a virtual tour of the Seminaarinmäki campus and see the interior of the buildings.
