5 day - Helsinki & Authentic Finnish Cabin Retreat in Nuuksio
Experience the best of Finland with a perfect balance of urban exploration and peaceful nature. Begin your journey in Helsinki, where a privately guided tour introduces you to the city’s rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant culture. Then, pick up your rental car and drive to Nuuksio National Park, where your private lakeside cabin at Hawkhill awaits. Nestled in the heart of the forest, this is your chance to embrace a true Finnish summer cottage experience—complete with a private sauna, your own beach, and the soothing tranquility of nature.
At Hawkhill, life slows down. Unplug from the digital world and reconnect with nature through guided hikes, open-fire cooking, forest yoga, or traditional Finnish games.
