Finnish Lakes and Forest Day Trip from Helsinki

start date: 2008-08-20
end date: 2008-09-11

A taste of Finnish lake and forest landscape. Enjoy the quiet and sounds of nature during a short walk in the forest. The tour is escorted by an expert guide, who teaches you about Finnish nature. Come see for yourself!

The Nuuksio National Park is about 45 minute drive from Helsinki and covers a large area of beautiful Finnish nature. The park forms part of the large Nuuksio lake uplands, a region that has survived in an almost natural state. There are 38 lakes and ponds in the park and a lot of berries and mushrooms grow there during the summer and fall. In the area there live a large amount of birds, moose and deer.

During the tour a professional nature guide will tell about the features of Finnish nature. You will see a part of the park and take a one to one and a half hour 1.8 miles (3 kilometres) walk along forest paths. After the walk there is time to enjoy coffee and tea and Finnish sweet bread by an open fire in a traditional Lappish kota tent and take a quick dip in the lake.
