Taiga Forest Walk

Come along on a forest walk and experience the essence of the Finnish taiga. We’ll walk through the boreal taiga forests of Porkkala in Kirkkonummi, which are fascinating for both their natural beauty and cultural history. The forests here are diverse, meaning that habitat types change frequently, so there is plenty to observe.

On the Trail of the Lynx

One day in February, Marita saw a lynx in the forest. At first, it was only visible for a few seconds, but after a moment it reappeared. That certainly turned out to be an unforgettable experience. Come visit us and let yourself be enchanted by this exciting experience. Let’s dive in and see what kind of scenery the lynx has been prowling through, staring at Marita, sitting there just like a cat, and yawning so wide that even its sharp teeth were visible!
