Helsinki: Enchanting Afternoon in Nuuksio National Park with Campfire
Slow down and reconnect with nature on this peaceful afternoon escape to Nuuksio National Park. Just a short drive from Helsinki, this guided forest walk is the perfect way to experience Finnish nature and traditions — complete with a lakeside campfire and local snacks.
After a busy morning exploring Helsinki or enjoying a slow start to your day, let the quiet beauty of Nuuksio refresh your senses. On this small-group tour, you’ll explore one of Finland’s most beloved national parks on a gentle 3 km forest walk, led by a professional wilderness guide.
Along the trail, your guide will introduce you to the unique features of Finnish nature — from native plants and wildlife to age-old forest traditions. Seasonal highlights may include spotting wild berries, mushrooms, or even snow-covered paths in early spring or winter.
The highlight of your adventure is a stop by a peaceful lakeside, where you’ll help build a campfire and grill traditional Finnish sausages (vegetarian options available). Warm blueberry juice and a sweet pastry complete this relaxing nature break. Afterward, enjoy a final short walk before heading back to the city feeling refreshed and grounded.
This experience is ideal for all fitness levels and is designed with sustainability in mind.
