The Pyynikki ridge, one of Tampere's most remarkable natural areas of beauty, is the city's most important recreation area and is located only two kilometres from the city centre. The Pyynikki ridge forms a narrow isthmus between the lakes Näsijärvi and Pyhäjärvi.
Pyynikki is used by residents as an exercising area in all seasons. Some of the trails are lit and they function as skiing tracks in the winter. There are two pedestrian and bicycle paths on the ridge, but elsewhere cycling is prohibited. The ridge is also of great educational importance with its nature trail.
