Lentävänniemi

Lentävänniemi (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈle̞n̪t̪æʋænːie̯mi]) is a district in the western part of Tampere on the shores of Lake Näsijärvi in Pirkanmaa, Finland.

[1] Lentävänniemi originally belonged to the municipality of Ylöjärvi, from where it was transferred to the city of Tampere in the early 1950s.

[2] Bus lines 3 and 14 run from Lentävänniemi to the city center of Tampere, about nine kilometers away.

Lentävänniemi has a school for grades 1-6, a kindergarten, a pizzeria, a barbecue kiosk, a sports field, a small shopping center with a pub, hairdresser, kebab restaurant, K-Market grocery store, and youth center, as well as two harbors, one of which is Jänissaari, which serves as the Näsijärvi Sailing Club.
