Haltialan periskooppi - Removal

Title of the Wayspot: Haltialan Periskooppi
Location: 60.270643, 24.955935
City: Helsinki
Country: Finland





The Haltiala Periscope has been permanently removed and no longer exists. Recent photos confirm that both the periscope and its map panels have been dismantled. The current official Haltiala Farm map no longer includes the attraction. Street View may still show the old structure, but that imagery is outdated. The farm was recently taken over by Lännentila as part of a major redevelopment of the site. More information: https://www.haltialanmaatila.fi/

Welcome to the forum :slight_smile:

The streetview images of this Gym are from September 2025. Your photos cannot be matched to this location.

If this feature has gone, I recommend taking photos from this spot so that it is clear you are photographing the actual location.

This Haltiala farm was purchased this year, the pictures are from the place you can see houses

You can see more information and a map at the link.

It should still be possible to go to that location and take photos that match streetview.

Its from The place, The new parking lot makes it look completely different.

Field parking lot

On September 2025 streetview at that location, I can see the following features:

A road sign

A track with signage leading away from the other side of the road

A track with signage leading away from this side of the road

A pale-coloured house among the trees on the opposite side of the road

Almost all of these features will still exist. Tarmaced tracks that have been showing on streetview for 16 years and existing for even longer, plus a house, plus a road sign, will not have all been removed in the past 8 months.

It will be possible to take a picture that matches this streetview location.

Thanks for the appeal, @hessuhopo333 ,

We looked at the shared information and decided to stand by our decision to not retire this Wayspot.

On a different note, I want to remind you that attempting to remove a Wayspot with doctored or incorrect evidence is considered abuse and may lead to severe consequences for the accounts involved, upto and including permanent termination.

It’s taken me this long to realise where the op took the photos from. The third photo, with the pole leaning slightly to the right, was taken from the location of this wayspot, but carefully angled away from the POI to make sure it was not included in the photo even if it still existed.
