Nuuksio is one of Finland's protected national parks where visitors can follow nature trails and find themselves by the side of a lake, berry-picking and mushroom-foraging in leafy woodland, standing in a meadow of wild flowers or atop a hill looking over the scenery below. This National Park is also home to some rare species of flora and fauna, notably squirrels, deer and snakes. Finnish nature is full of healthy food and medicine; from trees, berries, mushrooms and wild herbs. They grow in unpolluted woods and during long summer days they get their strong power to heal. While Nuuksio is undoubtedly unspoilt and an area of great natural beauty, it is surprisingly close to Espoo city centre. There you can choose your own way to relax in the wilderness: riding, cycling, climbing, picking berries and mushrooms, swimming, snowshoeing, letterboxing, skiing or trekking. You can even stay overnight in a tent or lean-to shelter. There are almost 30 kilometres of trekking trails close to fabulous ponds.
