Escape everyday stress and find tranquility in Nuuksio National Park with a guided forest bathing tour. Immerse yourself in nature using all five senses and slow down to mindfully engage with the forest.

Begin your experience with a gentle walk around Haukkalampi, guided by an expert who will help you connect with nature. As you move through towering pines and birches, feel the soft moss underfoot or the crunch of snow, depending on the season. You may be invited to walk barefoot, experiencing the forest floor in a new way.

The walk is slow and mindful, allowing you to fully take in the serene beauty of Nuuksio. Hear birds, rustling leaves, and the wind in the trees. The air is crisp and scented with pine, moss, and wildflowers. Each step helps melt away the stresses of modern life, leaving you with a sense of inner peace.

Forest bathing is about engaging all your senses in nature. As you walk through Nuuksio’s ancient forest, be encouraged to touch tree bark, listen to birds, and observe the swaying branches overhead. Being present in the forest quiets the mind and reconnects you with your body.

Research shows forest bathing reduces cortisol levels, lowers blood pressure, and enhances mental clarity. Trees release essential oils called phytoncides, which improve immune function and reduce inflammation. This sensory immersion lets you absorb the forest’s healing properties, boosting both physical and mental well-being.

After the walk, gather around an open fire to reflect on the experience. Enjoy a hot drink as you relax by the fire and process the forest’s calming energy. The crackling flames enhance the forest’s soothing effect, allowing you to unwind further.

This fireside reflection lets the forest’s healing energy settle, providing closure to the experience and extending the relaxation that Shinrin-yoku brings. It’s a time to share thoughts or sit quietly, appreciating the simple joys of life.
