Nuuksio National Park
In Nuuksio it is possible to escape from the busy capital and experience captivating nature.
Nuuksio National Park forms the western part of the so-called Nuuksio lake uplands, the most extensive and ecologically important continuous backwoods area in the Uusimaa Region.
Because it is located in southern Finland and affected by broken bedrock, the park consists of an intricate mosaic of habitats, where dozens of threatened and near-threatened species live.
It is a very recommended hiking area to visit for the experience of the Finnish nature scenery. Nuuksio National Park is located only 45 min. from Helsinki by car in the summer.
With its marked trails, cooking shelters and camping sites, Nuuksio is ideal for short hiking trips lasting one or two days.
