The Eerikinkartano area is a great place for an outing, and you can choose to walk one or both of the nature trails there. The Pähkinäpolku trail is the longer one of the trails and takes you from the picturesque manor garden to Lake Haapajärvi and to its bird-rich coastal meadow as well as into a welcoming hazel grove and past burled spruces. The shorter Eerikinpolku trail introduces you to cultural landscapes. Along the trails, you can enjoy your picnic in the break area whilst keeping an eye on the variety of bird species in the nature reserve.
