Start your forest hike in Nuuksio, near the Helsinki metropolitan area, from Natura Viva’s Hawk Nest and stay overnight at the Pöksynhaara camping area.
The funnily named Pöksynhaara camping area is situated near the Valkealampi camping, on the northern side of the Nuuksio National park. This calm and peaceful camping lies on the lakeshore of a tranquil forest pond – the perfect setting for a truly authentic Finnish forest experience and the destination of a forest hike, near Helsinki and just a hop away from the sprawling Finnish capital.
Pöksynhaara is a traditional place to spend the night in the middle of the forest – this means there are no amenities, no outhouse or a campfire site. Here the forest adventurer is one with the nature and can enjoy the pristine nature surroundings without any distractions.
The free-of-charge Pöksynhaara camping makes for a great overnight destination for the adventurous spirit. Start your eight kilometer hike here from Hawk Nest, Natura Viva’s Nuuksio depot, where you can enjoy hot coffee, snacks and beverages before your hike.
