The Hamina Fortress Trail

The Hamina Fortress Trail is a walking route that starts at the Flag Tower next to the Market Square and runs along the embankments of the Fortress of Hamina, ending at the Town Hall Square, the centre of the Fortress. You can walk the trail in either direction, and diverge from the trail along the route. The Fortress Trail is provided with seven information boards alongside this board. The QR codes on the boards offer further information on the past of the Fortress. The trail is about 4 km long and walkable year round.

Meet the moats that surround the Fortress, the gates that used to protect Hamina with drawbridges, and the impressive gun placements, tunnels and vaults – follow the trail and experience the history of the fortress bulwarks!
