About Eläintarha

Eläintarha is a natural site. Location: Helsinki, Helsinki sub-region.

From Wikipedia

Eläintarha (Swedish: Djurgården) is a large park in central Helsinki, Finland. The park serves as a divisor between the districts of Töölö to the west, and Hakaniemi and Kallio to the east. The southern half of the park includes two bays of the Baltic Sea: Töölönlahti to the west, and Eläintarhanlahti to the east. The railroad tracks running northwards from the Helsinki Central railway station run between these bays, effectively splitting the Eläintarha park in half.
