Guided Hiking Tour: Porkkala Peninsula

Explore the picturesque Porkkala Peninsula in Kirkkonummi, a tranquil retreat on the Baltic Sea just outside Finland’s capital, Helsinki.

With an authorised guide, participants will hear about the local culture and traverse a nature trail to the tip of the peninsula, taking in the stunning archipelago landscape and keeping an eye out for moose or deer. Particularly enchanting are the migrating birds and the historic lighthouse dating back to 1800. The area also holds historical significance as a former Russian naval base, known as the 'Porkkala Parenthesis', and your guide provides unique insights into this local past. A visit to this area is a true gem for any nature and culture enthusiast!
