When thinking of Finland, the Northern Lights often take center stage. However, Finland offers a wealth of leisure activities that are not only part of daily life but also easily accessible. Let's delve into some of these enchanting pastimes:
Saunas: A cultural and Relaxation Oasis.
Saunas are one of Finnish cultures and they're an essential part of daily life. Nearly every Finnish household has a sauna, and it's common to enjoy a sauna at least once a week. Sauna sessions are more than just a physical experience; they are a social ritual where people come together, often with a beer or soft drink in hand, to relax and unwind. Yet, the sauna experience doesn't end with its soothing heat. After a sauna session, immersing oneself in a cold lake or basking in the crisp, refreshing outdoor air is a must-do practice.
Outdoor Swimming: Dive into the Finnish Waters.
Finland is renowned for its thousands of lakes, making swimming a popular leisure activity. During the summer, having a picnic and taking a dip in the lakes become the perfect weekend pastime, allowing you to relish the fresh air amidst the captivating natural scenery. Additionally, winter swimming is a beloved outdoor activity, even when the temperatures plummet to freezing cold. Dipping into the cold water is an invigorating and refreshing experience as well as reflecting the Finnish SISU spirits.
Forest Trail: Nature's Playground.
In Finland, over 75% of Finland's land area is covered by forest. Trail running, biking or hiking are popular leisure activities enjoyed after work or during leisure time. In winter, some slopes would be covered by snow and those slopes become tracks for people to ski. Forest trail outdoor activities are not only a sport; connecting with nature is a good way to relieve stress.
Campfire and grill: A taste of Tranquility.
Sitting by a campfire with coffee, and enjoying the quietness of the forest is everything you need to feel relaxed. In the tranquil forest, amidst the peace and with a cup of warm coffee in hand, grilling some sausages becomes the perfect next step. It's important to note that campfires should be limited to designated campfire sites, and you can find more information about these sites online.
Berry Picking: A Delicious Connection with Nature
Foraging for berries is a cherished Finnish tradition. The forests offer a bounty of treasures, including blueberries, lingonberries, and cranberries. It's an immersive experience that connects you with the land and provides sweet rewards.
