Explore the Peaceful Taiga Forests of Liesjärvi National Park

Leave the city behind on a guided day trip from Helsinki and discover Liesjärvi National Park, an off-the-beaten-path nature destination in southern Finland.

This easygoing small-group tour takes you through Finnish taiga forests, past beautiful lakes, and along scenic forest trails, where you can enjoy the peace and quiet of nature away from the crowds.

Along the way, your professional wilderness guide will share knowledge about Finnish nature, from local plants and birds to the changing seasons and forest traditions. Enjoy a delicious Finnish-style lunch beside a forest lake.

Every season offers new opportunities to discover nature. In spring, the forest awakens after winter, summer brings juicy blueberries and lush green forests, and autumn transforms the landscape with wild mushrooms and warm shades of yellow and orange. For a winter adventure, explore the park on our separate Winter Wonderland Hike.

Highlights:
• Explore the peaceful taiga forests of Liesjärvi National Park
• Learn about Finnish nature with a professional wilderness guide
• Take an easygoing hike along scenic forest trails with beautiful lake views
• Enjoy a Finnish-style lunch and dessert by a lake

Explore, Learn & Enjoy Finnish Nature

Good food, good mood! We believe that a delicious meal is an essential part of a great day outdoors. Our guides prepare a Finnish-style lunch using fresh, quality ingredients, often featuring our popular smoked salmon soup. Lunch is served by a lake and includes dessert. Please let us know about any dietary requirements when booking.

Liesjärvi National Park is one of our favorite places to explore in southern Finland. We are the only Helsinki-based tour operator offering regular guided day trips here, and we love sharing this lesser-known destination with nature lovers from around the world.
