Uutela is a beautiful and prestigious outdoor area that offers the much needed greenery for those living in a city in a concrete jungle. In addition to the jogging paths in the middle of a beautiful nature, there are also 2 grilling huts in Uutela.

The countries below are the members of the European Union. The euro sign, if attached, means the country uses the one and the same euro currency in that country. That is also one of the reasons that make traveling in these countries a lot easier. The list has been updated in 1/2020.
