Trekking in the Heart of Nature
Locals rush to their favourite bogs and forests in summer and fall with baskets and buckets to pick vitamin-rich berries. It's a great way to spend time with your friends or family, collect healthy berries, and put them in the freezer to enjoy during the long winter. On this tour, our guide teaches you about picking berries and finding natural ingredients.
We will have a break by the campfire where you can relax while your guide prepares for you traditional Finnish pancakes, or crepes, by the open fire. Depending on the season you may be able to top your snack with freshly picked berries.
