Removed from Unnamed collection

Nuuksio National Park: a haven of fresh air, nature, and tranquility. It's a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, yet it's conveniently close. Just a 40-minute drive from Helsinki, this natural oasis awaits.

Imagine leaving the urban chaos behind and stepping into a landscape filled with serene lakes, lush green forests, and pristine air. With its well-marked trails, cooking shelters, and camping sites, Nuuksio is perfect for short hiking adventures, whether you're planning a one or two-day trip.

Covering the western part of the Nuuksio lake uplands, the park is a crucial ecological area in the Uusimaa Region. Its southern Finland location and unique geological features create a complex mosaic of habitats. Here, you'll find dozens of threatened and near-threatened species thriving. For those interested in birdwatching, Nuuksio is a paradise. Keep an eye out for the Siberian flying squirrel and listen for the call of the black woodpecker echoing through the trees. Whether you're an avid hiker or just someone seeking a peaceful retreat, Nuuksio offers a refreshing experience that connects you with nature in an unforgettable way.
