Historical Riverside Walk

On a guided walk in the Forssa city park, you will get to know the beauty of urban nature.

The hallmarks of Forssa are the red-brick Finlayson factory buildings from the 19th and 20th centuries, which have been wonderfully renovated, and the beautiful walking trails along the Loimijoki River. The local blocks of wooden houses also delight visitors.

The riverside walk tells stories about the factory colony, work in the old days, people, innovations and ways of living. About how a large community developed along the river thanks to the employment effect of the factory.

Take a part to this guided walk if you want to know; who were the cotton angels, who was A.W.Wahren, what they did in their spare time and where they lived in 19th century Forssa.

The people of Forssa are easy-going people.
