Nuuksio National Park
About
Nuuksio National Park is one of Finland's 40 national parks. Established in 1994, the park spreads over an area of forests and lakes in Espoo, Kirkkonummi and Vihti. North-west from Helsinki, it is the second-closest national park to the capital behind the recently established Sipoonkorpi National Park.
Only 45 minutes from Helsinki city centre or from Helsinki-Vantaa airport, lies Nuuksio National Park. There one can escape into wild natural settings, with lovely lakes, green forests and rugged crags. Even a one-hour hike along well-marked hospitable trails gives the visitor the feeling of experiencing the wilderness. Or make a longer hike and enjoy your picnic by a campfire place where dry firewood waits the trekker.
