Liminganlahti Bay Nature Centre
Liminganlahden luontokeskus
One of Finland's most important wetland birdwatching sites, with grassy bay meadows, birdwatching towers and nature centre exhibits.
Liminganlahti Bay is one of Finland's most important wetlands for birds and is part of the EU Natura 2000 network. In spring and autumn, thousands of cranes, geese and waders rest on the bay's meadows. The nature centre offers free exhibitions, a café and telescopes. Wooden boardwalks lead to several birdwatching towers, and you can hike along the bay. It is about 30 km from Oulu city centre, roughly a 30-minute drive. For birdwatching, bring binoculars and insect repellent.
