Still in Jyväskylä

 Different view of the Nero stairs in Jyväskylä. Both to celebrate postcrossing anniversaries and sent by Heidi.

 

The Harju ridge is the best known of Jyväskylä’s observation points and green areas. Ascending its steep slope are the Nero steps, which were named after former city engineer Oskar Nero.

The stone steps are flanked each summer by a fantastic array of flowers.

 

The Nero Stairs that ascend to the top of the ridge are one of Jyväskylä’s more picturesque sights. The robust stairs, whose foot is at the edge of the city centre, were built as an unemployment relief project in 1925.
