National Park

Nuuksio

english

Less than an hour from the centre of Helsinki, Nuuksio National Park forms the heart
of an extensive area of unspoilt forests with rich flora and fauna, including dozens of
threatened species. Easy paths and more challenging trails lead through deep green
forests and rocky gorges to peaceful lakeshores.

Instructions and rules

Metshallitus national park

management

The Finnish Nature Centre Haltia,

A wealth of wildlife and

splendid scenery
Nuuksio's varied landscapes include
valleys and gorges carved out during
the Ice Age, and rugged rocky hills
that overlook leafy woodlands and
shady spruce forests. Visitors can cross
open marshes and picnic by beautiful
lakesides. The park's forests are dotted
with more than 50 small lakes and
ponds. Many of these lakes have marshy
margins, but others have crystal clear
water.
Dozens of rare and threatened species
thrive in the national park. Visitors may
be lucky enough to spot a flying squirrel
gliding between the treetops overhead.
This unique animal is the emblem of
the Nuuksio National Park, where its
population is denser than anywhere else

Respect nature!
Please help to protect nature in the
national park by observing the park
regulations and leaving no traces behind
when you leave. No litter bins are
provided, so please take away everything
that you bring to the park.
