Key Information
Finnish regional road 120 (Vihdintie) between Helsinki and Vihti, one of the most important road connections from Lahnus to the capital, passes through the district.[3] Along the road, at the intersection near the Shell filling station, the north branch road to Klaukkala is Lahnuksentie (Mt 1324).[4] There are also several nature reserves in Lahnus: Tremanskärr Nature Reserve and Luukki Nature Reserve, as well as part of Nuuksio National Park.
