Töölö bay

This guide to Tolo bay in Helsinki starts with an unwritten rule every regular jogger follows without discussing it, and the reasoning behind which direction to run the loop past Finlandia Hall and the Opera House. It then traces what this water used to be, a working harbor and later a dumping ground for sawmills, a sugar factory, and a soap works. You'll hear why officials still will not dredge the bottom. Try the loop counter-clockwise from the war memorial and see if you notice the hill first.
