Gili_S Says: Obviously people come here to do some hiking, there are few marks treks, 2, 4 or 7 km. All are easy to walk and often you will see the whole family with very small children walking here. You do not need any special preparations or to be in any good conditions to do hiking...
Visit the Nuuksio National Park
Gili_S Says: Well, this is not a town or a village, it is a real National Park which mean when you come to visit here, after you enter the park and pass this spot where is the office (and a place to buy drink or coffee) you are in the wilderness and all alone in the forest.
Gili_S Says: It is also possible to visit this beautiful park in the winter. Just be aware that some tracks will be ice covered and slippery so be prepared with the right shoes and winter gear for the appropriate weather.
Gili_S Says: The Nuuksio National Park is just perfect place in the summer. It is easy to walk deep into the forest, go for a swim in the lake and stay over night for camping. Just be aware that it is very popular and intent to be crowded in the weekends.

Hiidenkirnu, ääääh what would that be in English?
sinoda Says: Hidden well in the deep and wild forests are mysterious freakish anomalies of nature, hehehe.If you believe what was true in the "old days" and I don't mean your father's (oh, when we were young...), no, I'm referring to little earlier times, then these sorts of round and...
sinoda Says: Nuuskio as all of Finland is rather flat, so you won't see much but pine, birch and aspen trees. Theresore I always will seek some higher ground to get perspective and some sort of over view. Here are the spots to hang out for a while, let down your heavy backpack and...
sinoda Says: Now, why the heck has he posted such a bad picture?Hmmmm, is there anything? except for brown leaves? Yes, there is! That's hat it looks like when you go in autumn into the woods in hope to find mushrooms. Now, start looking for them. I can tell, you it takes a while for...

Nuuksio National Park is described well on web pages, but to make it short: if you don't want to use your car, you need to get somehow to Espoo center (or close), then take a city bus. From Espoo you...
