Nuuksio National Park: Half-Day Trip from Helsinki

Nuuksio National Park: Half-Day Trip from Helsinki

If you’re planning a visit to Helsinki, be sure to include a half day for a trip to Nuuksio National Park, located within the boundaries of greater Helsinki. It takes about an hour and a half by public transportation to reach the park from the city center. You’ll be met in the center of Helsinki, and travel by commuter train to Espoo center and then take a local bus to the park entrance. The park is ranked among the top 10 nature attractions in Finland and is a must-see. To get the most from your visit, it’s best to let an experienced guide and professional naturalist lead the way. Enjoy the scenic beauty of the tall coniferous or mixed forest, with trees growing around enormous primeval rocks, in an area that’s rich with mosses and ferns. You’ll come across numerous small forest lakes, and you can stop to enjoy a swim. The forest is inhabited by various animals, including such rare species as the Siberian flying squirrel, found in Europe only in Finland and Estonia. With your biologist guide you’ll trek through the tall forest, learn about the natural features of Finland, enjoy scenic views, and hopefully spot some wildlife.

From Helsinki, Ice fishing experience with meal and drink.

From Helsinki, Ice fishing experience with meal and drink.

On the lake, we will walk in order to find the ideal place where there is the best chance of catching fish. I will then explain how to make a hole in the ice and how to use the pilkki. Then it's up to you! You will be ready to catch lots of fish! At the end, in a Laavu, the traditional refuge, I will make a fire to be able to grill the makkara, the traditional sausages. There is also an option for vegetarians. I will also serve you a delicious glögi as well as piparri, traditional cookies. We'll drive back to Helsinki center.

The tour was amazing, we were a group of four and connected right away. The guide was friendly and had a lot of knowledge. The trails and nature itself were beautiful, the silence of the forest was just amazing. I could have stayed in the woods way longer. There were plenty of opportunities to take pictures and the tour guide stopped for a few minutes whenever he noticed that someone was out of breath.

This was a very extensive hike through the National Park. There were 7 in our group and our guide was excellent in pointing out berries, varieties of mushrooms, flora, etc..

The tour leader had an impressive knowledge about the park and his biology/geology. Despite being a short trip of a morning hike,were chosen incredible path walks.🙏Kiitos!

All the explanations from our guide were very interesting and the route we took was quite an experience, without a doubt, we will repeat it :)

I really enjoyed learning about the funghi and different plants.
