Paimio Sanatorium Nature Path

Paimio Sanatorium is a gift for all Finns. It was it in 1933 and it is it now. The building, designed by Aino and Alvar Aalto in 1929 and completed in 1933 as a tuberculosis hospital, is a global landmark of functionalist architecture. The breakthrough work of the young architects is now open to the visitors and is run by Paimio Sanatorium Foundation. The memorandum of association of the Paimio Sanatorium Foundation was signed on 27 October 2020. The foundation was founded by the Hospital District of Southwest Finland, the State of Finland, the Alvar Aalto Foundation, the Municipality of Paimio and the City of Turku. According to the rules of the foundation, the purpose of the Paimio Sanatorium Foundation will be to protect the sanatorium’s facilities and movable assets, as well as its architecturally and culturally significant intellectual and material property and the related values. Paimion parantola kiinteistö Oy (company for Paimio Sanatorium property management) was founded in 2020. Its purpose is to secure and maintain the property and furniture of the Paimio sanatorium and to develop new purposes for the use for the building’s premises on an economically sustainable basis within the framework of the building’s protection regulations. All development of the operations will honor and respect the Alvar and Aino Aalto’s architecture and its cultural and historical value.

The Sanatorium nature path is a culture and nature focused, maintained by the Parantola Metsät Association. It takes you to the Sanatorium’s bright and fairy-tale pine forest.

A large number of different trails cruise through the forest, but the route of the Sanatorium nature path is well marked on the terrain with red poles. Along the path there are signposts telling the history of the Sanatorium area. The path also passes a small pumping station designed by Alvar Aalto. The pumping station is still in operation and provides irrigation water for the Sanatorium garden.

The length of the route is about 2.2 kilometers. The path is suitable for beginners and is in good condition, but the there are few roots and stones, which makes it difficult to move with strollers or a wheelchair.

There is also a campfire along the path, so barbecuing can also be part of the Sanatorium visit program. Firewood is not available on behalf of the Sanatorium.

The starting point of the path is next to Preitilä Kindergarden parking lot, along Ruokolinnannantie 28, 21540 Paimio. You can also start your journey and find a signpost next to Kanttiini Café of Paimio Sanatorium.
