Description
Nuuksio National Park covers an area of 53 square kilometers and is one of the most popular national parks in Finland. It offers a mix of dense forests, rocky hills, lakes and wetlands. These varied habitats are home to a wide range of bird species. In spring, for example, you can hear and see (Ευρωπαϊκός) Συκοφάγος, while Νανομυγοχάφτης and Northern Hawk Owl can be observed in summer. During the autumn and spring migration, (Ευρωπαϊκός) Γερανός and various duck species stop off at the lakes. The peaceful landscape and well-maintained walking trails make it a wonderful place for birdwatching.
