The hill is not made out of waste, it is made out of excess land coming from construction sites in Helsinki. The artificial hill is the highest point
in the city of Helsinki, with around 100 meters over sea level.

And what you see on the thumb is the fine landscaping art on it was made for the year 2000 then Helsinki was a Culture Capitol of Europe.

sorry, I got the year wrong not 200 but 1998 and the reason was obviously the 20 year anniversary of the artificlal hill. It should actually be 3 hills, because there were 3 small hills and the valley between them was first filled and then the hill climbed to its current hight.
