WHAT YOU VISIT
Nuuksio National Park Trek with Huskies
Located approximately 40 minutes north of Helsinki, the 53-square-kilometer (20-square-mile) park offers a pristine landscape of meandering streams, meadows and valleys, and easily-trod forest trails. Once you arrive, you'll be greeted by your experienced nature guide and professional sled dogs attached to a safety harness that adults will use to walk the huskies along the approximately five-kilometer (three-mile) trail. Commune with nature as you smell the fresh air and enjoy the quietness of the forest. Commune with nature as you smell the fresh air and enjoy the quietness of the forest. Along the way, the guide will share stories about the lives of the huskies and about your surroundings, home to dozens of endangered or near threatened species.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
Keep your camera or binoculars within reach, you may capture the Siberian flying squirrel, the European nightjar (whose grey and and brown plumage makes it difficult to see when it rests on the ground – so be careful where you walk!) and the woodlark, known for its charming chirp.
SNACK
With nature as your dining room, you're invited to grill your own sausage over an open-air fireplace and relax with fresh coffee.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
As you return to Helsinki, you'll drive along its main street-the bustling and vibrant Mannerheim-and pass by Parliament House, the National Museum, Finlandia Hall, the Museum of Contemporary Art and more before returning to your awaiting ship.
