Overview

Feel the lure of the wilderness in the magnificent Liesjärvi National Park.
This adventurous excursion includes the national park's most stunning locations and a delicious Finnish-style lunch cooked by a lake! (Dietary needs? Let us know.)

Walk peacefully into the wilderness to connect with nature and experience true silence like never before. This full-day excursion is the perfect way to relax and immerse yourself in the magic of the Taiga forest.

Highlights:
• Experience pristine nature in a wild and off-the-beaten-path national park
• Look, listen, breathe, and feel the magic of the forest
• Learn about local plants and wildlife from a professional guide
• Finnish-style lunch

No matter what time of year you visit, every season offers a unique perspective into the Taiga forest. Spring with its crisp blue skies and icy lakes.
