Feel the lure of the wilderness in the magnificent Liesjärvi National Park.
This adventurous excursion includes the national park's most stunning locations and a delicious Finnish-style lunch cooked by a lake! (Dietary needs? Let us know.)

Walk peacefully into the wilderness to connect with nature and experience true silence like never before. This full-day excursion is the perfect way to relax and immerse yourself in the magic of the Taiga forest.
