Stop At: Porkkalanniemi, 02480 Kirkkonummi, Finland

Our walk begins on a forest trail leading into an open-rock area which is the first display of the many diverse areas Porkkala has to offer. This open-rock area will give us the opportunity to see what effects coastal weather has on the near-by forest. Pine trees that are used to standing tall and true are forced to grow into short disfigured trees which reach for the forest inland.

As the walk continues, we will find ourselves with a picturesque coastal view and two wilderness shelters where we will build a fire to prepare our lunch. Along the coast we can explore the land and seascapes to admire the raw beauty where the forest meets the sea.

After some exploration, we will warm up and enjoy a Finnish-style lunch over a campfire. After the lunch it is time to head back to the starting point and get back to the civilization.

Duration: 4 hours
