In Nuuksio it is possible
to escape the busy capital city and experience nature. With its marked trails,
cooking shelters and camping sites Nuuksio is ideal for short hiking trips
lasting one or two days. Longer excursions can be extended to the surrounding
recreational forests of Espoo
(www.espoo.fi) and Helsinki
(www.hel.fi).
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.
