Forest walk and mushroom foraging in Lake Saimaa
Lake SaimaaRistiinaFor groupsActivities on Lake Saimaa

EXPERIENCE THE FINNISH FOREST AND DISCOVER THE JOY OF MUSHROOM FORAGING! 

Join your host for a relaxed walk in the forest, where we explore the seasonal world of mushrooms. This easy and enjoyable outing is suitable for both beginners and those with some experience – or anyone simply curious about Finnish nature.

Along the way, we learn to recognise a few common edible mushrooms and gather them together, while moving at an unhurried pace and taking in the beauty of the forest. The focus is on experiencing, observing and enjoying – with practical tips and ideas you can take home with you.

For an added treat, you can order hand crafted lunch made of local ingredients to enjoy during the trip. We will provide baskets and knives if needed – just bring weather-appropriate clothing, good footwear and a curious mind.

The experience takes place in our nearby forests in Ristiina. A light rain will not prevent the trip, but in case of severe weather, we will reschedule.
