Tuunaansalmen ratavartijan pihapiiri rakennuksineen

Why visit

A modest keeper's cottage with its outbuildings stands beside the Tuunaansalmi bridge in the Punkaharju nature reserve, a quiet reminder of the labour-intensive upkeep of early traffic.

Look for: Notice the ferry keeper's former dwelling standing on the far side of the road and railway — the whole yard shows how much labour early traffic once demanded.

About this site

A simple watchman's cottage with outbuildings is situated by the Tuunansalmi bridge beside the road leading to Savonlinna in Punkaharju nature conservation area. On the other side of the main road and the railway is the former dwelling of the ferry watchman. The complex is a good example of the early phase of transport infrastructure's labour-intensive maintenance and supervision.
