Nuuksio National Park

National Park

Nuuksio National Park spans the municipalities of Espoo, Kirkkonummi and Vihti in the Uusimaa region of Finland, established in 1994 over an area of lakes and forest less than 30 kilometers from downtown Helsinki. It is the second-closest national park to Helsinki after Sipoonkorpi National Park, and its accessibility by public transport has made it one of the most visited parks in the country.
