Guided ELK and deer safari
If you want to see an Elk, spring/early summer or late summer/autumn are the best time for that (at dawn or in the evening). In early summer you might even see a calf or two when a female Elk takes its offspring to eat on the fields. White-tailed Deer and Roe deer are easier to see.
We make the excursion mainly by car to places where Elks and the other deer species are regularly seen.

Porkkala peninsula
The road to Porkkala Peninsula is an old historical road. At the same time it is a charming road as it goes through forests, you will see houses with gardens, agricultural land, but all the time forests dominate the landscape. Forests here are mainly mixed forests with spruces, pines, birches and aspens. Mosses, blueberries and lingonberries are typical plants of the undervegetation.
You might also notice that there are lot of lichens on the trees and on the stones. This makes the forest landscape very different from for example beech forests of Central Europe. By the way, there are no beech forests in Finland…. Towards the end of the Peninsula, you will see Boreal Taiga forests, a forest habitat type of priority importance in the European scale. Within the EU, this type of forest exists only in the Northern Europe. It is worth exploring them!
