3.Hiking tour in Nuuksio National Park with meal and snacks

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 184 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $113Best guided

Join David for a small-group hike in Nuuksio National Park, usually about 5 kilometers over roughly three hours. Expect forest trails, lakes, bogs, berries, mushrooms, Finnish glögi, biscuits, and homemade mushroom soup with rye bread. The route suits moderately fit walkers, but wet roots and boggy ground call for sturdy waterproof shoes.

“Not far from Helsinki, good pace on the hike. Recommend hiking footwear w/good traction for some uneven terrain. David knows his plants/flora of the park, and had a nice route planned for us. I had my phone bird app handy to identify the numerous birds you will hear! Bonus homemade mushroom soup overlooking a nice lake.”
