Sipoonkorpi National Park Excursion + Finnish Sauna

Sipoonkorpi National Park Excursion + Finnish Sauna

On this excursion to Sipoonkorpi National Park, we will enjoy a hiking route and a Finnish smoke sauna experience. We will meet at Mannerheiminaukio in central Helsinki and depart by minibus towards Sipoonkorpi National Park, approximately a 40-minute journey.

Upon arrival, we will embark on a hiking route showcasing scenic landscapes of Finland, abundant with local wildlife typical of southern Finnish forests. The tour features various stops to observe nature, including lakes, cliffs, and rock formations.

Midway through the hike, we will stop by a lake to enjoy a typical meal. After lunch, we will continue along the trails until we reach the smoke sauna, a significant Finnish tradition, where we can relax and relieve stress. The sauna operates at temperatures between 80 and 100 degrees Celsius, using löylö, the therapeutic steam created by pouring water over heated stones. It is recommended to take a dip in the adjacent lake to enhance the refreshing experience.

We will conclude the hike by returning to the starting point and then take the minibus back to Helsinki, completing the Sipoonkorpi National Park tour after 6 hours.
