To the west of the centre, the steep slopes of Pyynikki Garden, the highest gravel ridge in the world, are covered by tall old pine trees. The magnificent views over the two lakes, Näsijärvi in the north and Pyhäjärvi in the south, can be admired from the Pyynikin Näkötorni, or on top of the high cliffs on the southern side. Pyynikki is an exceptional city resort, providing great recreation and wonderful scenery. On the Pyhäjärvi lakefront, the Pyynikki Summer Theatre with its rotating stands provides enjoyable outdoor performances, whatever the weather.
