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.
