Why visit
Pohjankuru (Skuru) station sits at the head of a sea inlet in a river valley, part of the broad heritage landscape of the Åminnefors, Billnäs and Fiskars ironworks — a key transport site in Western Uusimaa's industry and seafaring.
Look for: The small, typical station with its dwellings hides its own story: a junction of sea, river and road traffic near the ironworks that greatly enlivened its freight.
