Walking maps

The walking maps created by students include various walking routes in the surroundings of the Linnanmaa and Kontinkangas campuses. The maps show the length of each route and the estimated walking time. The walking routes can be used for breaks from studying or working, walking meetings, brainstorming sessions, pair or group work, or following remote events.
