Your journey for the day
Pick-up time: 9 A.M.Drop-off time: 4 P.M. Foragers paradise Once we have arrived at Liesjärvi National Park, our group will begin their hike through the forest to some of our favourite mushroom picking spots. The first 2 hours include a fun and educational hunt for wild mushrooms. Your guide will take you to their favourite mushroom hunting locations in the national park and show you the edible and non-edible mushrooms. While searching and foraging the mushrooms, we will make our way to the campfire by the lakeside. While your guide starts the fire and prepares a traditional Finnish-style lunch, there will be plenty of time to take photos, enjoy conversation with one another, and experience the peace of the Taiga forest. If we found enough edible mushrooms, you have the chance to cook and taste them. After lunch, the group will continue to explore the natural beauty of Liesjärvi and we will walk around one hour back to the starting point. We will drop you off in Helsinki feeling relaxed from this wonderful adventure. On this day trip, we spend approximately 4.5 hours within the national park. With transportation, the total length of this nature tour is 7 hours.
