Nuuksio National Park snowshoe hike near Helsinki with glögi and homemade mushroom soup in a laavu.

“The guide noticed how tired I looked at the end and wished me a good rest for the rest of my trip. The nature in Nuuksio was breathtakingly beautiful — quiet, alive, and endless. His mushroom soup was fantastic, and his stories about the forest fungi made the meal even better. He never seemed to run out of energy and answered every question we had with such patience.

I had never done any foraging before and our guide explained everything about the plants we were sampling. He prepared a campfire lunch which was delicious. After our hike and experience he dropped us off at our hotels. I would definitely go on another experience with our guide again. I will always have fond memories of this hike in the National Park.”

Go from Helsinki to Liesjärvi National Park for a guided Taiga forest hike, berry and mushroom spotting, and a Finnish lunch by a lake.

“This was a wonderful excursion along mainly well kept paths although we did trek across some areas with no paths to add to our adventure. Our guide was very knowledgeable and has been hiking this area for many years. He took us to areas where controlled burns had taken place and told us about the succession of plants coming in for new growth. He took us to some bones of a deer that he has been watching for over two years now. The deer was mostly intact when he first found it and now only scattered bones are left. Our lunch was a wonderful bowl of salmon soup and bread…”

“Jeff made my first, winter, forest hike in Finland unforgettable. Despite the wet, gloomy weather, he shone as a guide, being engaging, attentive, and a wealth of information.
