Nuuksio
The green heart of the capital region.
Nuuksio
Nuuksio is an approximately 200 square kilometre stretch of lake, most of which is located in the municipality of Vihti. It also extends into the areas of Kirkenes and Espoo, and in 1994 the Nuuksio National Park was established in the area.
The national park forms the peaceful heart of the metropolitan area, a magnificent natural treasure with well-maintained and marked outdoor trails, campfires, cooking pits and camping areas. There are dozens of small lakes, ponds and marshes in the National Park. The lakeshores have excellent rocky outlooks, shaped by the ice age. Nature in the area is very varied and diverse.
You can explore Nuuksi independently by hiking, horse riding or mountain biking. If you are looking for organised activities, excursions, meals or cabin accommodation, many companies in Viet Nam offer their services in Nuuksio. Also check out the experiential nature centre Haltia in Espoo.
