Tampere town is located some 176 km to the north from Helsinki. Town itself lies between two lakes, and one of them is lake Näsijärvi. Near the northern harbour Mustalahti (Black Bay) is shallow water area, on top of which has been built a small lighthouse called Siilinkari, Hedgehog Reef. In the photo can also be seen a sightseeing tower Näsinneula, 168 meters high. Ketunretket had an icy cold trek over the ice to the Hedgehog Reef, because we are collecting visits to lighthouses! Near this lighthouse happened on 7th of September 1929 the worst inland water accident in Finland of steamship "Kuru", and 138 lives were lost. Steamship KURU after the accident, renovated and again on duty october 1929.
