Why visit

Siuro's original Class V station stands on the esker slope above the shore of Kulovesi, a vantage point that grew, early in the last century, into one of the area's hubs of traffic and industry where two busy boat routes met the railway.

Look for: Seek out the trackmaster's house about a kilometre from the station, set beside the steep bank that drops to the Siuro rapids.

About this site

The original station area of the class V station on the Tampere-Pori railway in the former Pirkkala (now Nokia) Siuro is situated on the shore of Kulovesi in a scenically impressive location on an esker slope. The river valley, Siuronmäki and the nearby Siuro Linnavuori form a valuable conservation complex.

The track superintendent's house is situated approximately 1 km from the station at the steep escarpment descending towards Siuro rapids. Siuro developed in the early part of this century into one of former Pirkkala municipality's traffic and industrial centres, advantageously positioned at the junction of two busy shipping routes and the railway.
