Sveitsi Forest Hike in Hyvinkää

• Meet your tour guide at Helsinki Airport or your hotel and travel to Hyvinkää's Sveitsi Forest on a one-hour drive.

• Begin your 5-km hike through the forest.

• Take a mid-hike break beside the small swamp ponds of Iso Karhu or Kaksoslammit. There, fry some sausages and relax by the water. The ponds and swamps in Sveitsi Forest are deep and brown-coloured but clean, so you can also take a quick swim.

• Continue hiking until you return to the car.

• End the day with the return trip to your hotel in Helsinki or to the airport.
