Nuuksio National Park, Finland view on map

Place description edited by juha

Nuuksio National Park (Nuuksion kansallispuisto in Finnish, Noux nationalpark in Swedish) is one of the 35 national parks in Finland. 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 closest national park to the capital. The name is derived from the Nuuksio district of Espoo.

The park can be reached by public transportation from Helsinki and Espoo. Buses 85 and 85B leave from Espoon keskus to Nuuksionpää and Kattila at daytime. From Leppävaara take bus no. 28/28K to Siikaniemi or bus no. 28T/28KT to Siikaranta. There are three marked trails for hiking and locations for grilling, camping, skiing, and berry and mushroom picking. In addition to four camping sites it is also possible to rent a cabin at Wild North.

Nuuksio is a very nice national park close to Helsinki. Nuuksio is highland and there are a lot of small lakes and some (easy to reach) hiking routes. Definitely worth visiting during the summer time. You can get there from Helsinki even using public transportation! 335 days ago

If you want to have a taste of wildlife but don't want to leave the Helsinki area then try out Nuuksio. It's not really wild but still it's a quite nice national park close to Helsinki. 349 days, 9 hours ago

Don't forget to pack sausages and mustard (makkaraa ja sinappia)! You are supposed to burn your sausage outside but eat it while it's still cold inside.
There's no other sausage like Finnish makkara! 188 days, 9 hours ago
