A friend and I stayed for two nights. First we stayed the night at "vuorinuotiopaikka" then we hiked to "kalkkiruukin laavu". It was a peaceful yet daring and successful attempt at a hike. Neither of us had any experience hiking with a heavy backpack but somehow we both managed to make a trip little over 15 km. It was fun and I'd do it again but with a little more research. There isn't a well at "kalkkiruukin laavu"'s direction but there is one at "Ăngesböle tulipaikka" where we wore supposed to go but went to the wrong parking lot and ended up in the wrong place. So we ran out of water pretty fast and had to boil some. Oh and please take to consideration if there's a forest fire warning DO NOT light the campfire. Lucky us we brought a kerosene stove which is allowed during such a warning. But yea I'd recommend if staying for long to go from "kalkkiruuki"'s direction to "Ă€ngesböle" otherwise I wouldn't change a thing. Was a great and safe Juhannus. Nature is a beautiful and wonderful place. Please treat it with respect and take your...
   Read moreI stay near vantaa and from here it is one of the nearest national park to go either by walk or by bike.
I had a walk with the help of google map and as usual it ended up taking me to a restricted area entrance and i had to walk back around 1 km to go to another route and reach the national park.
It was evening time when i reached there. There are grills available with woods to be used. You can have a plunge in the lake swim, get yourself warm around the wood fire.
It has some great trekking trails and this time around I couldnât try much of it. I would update my review post doing a trail trek later some day.
It was worth spending an evening in tranquil admist nature.
Highly recommend someone who loves nature to visit this national park and give yourself that much...
   Read moreSipoon kansallispuistossa ensimmÀinen retki ikimuistoinen. Olin poikani kanssa linturetkellÀ n 5 vuotta sitten lÀhinnÀ autonkuljettajana ja tarkoitus kulkea vaan sÀhkölinjaa pitkin ettÀ osaisimme takai- sin autolle ennen pimeÀn tuloa. Mutta toisin kÀvi. Poikani on harrastanut lintujen seurantaa lÀhes koko ikÀnsÀ ja hÀn sitten kuuli varpuspöllön ÀÀnen ja rupesi kutsu- maan sitÀ matkien sen ÀÀntÀ. No eipÀ muistettu, ettÀ meillÀ ei ole karttaa eikÀ kompassia ja seurasimme innokkaana lintua syvemmÀlle metsÀÀn. Noin tunnin pÀÀstÀ olimme jo kadottaneet lintua seuratessamme suunnan mistÀ olimme lÀhteneet. No emme vielÀ huolestuneet olihan meillÀ jonkun verran evÀitÀ vielÀ jÀljellÀ ja en voinut tietenkÀÀn nÀyttÀÀ pojalleni ettÀ olimme kyllÀ nyt hieman niin kuin eksyksissÀ. Alkoi jo todella hÀmÀrtÀÀ ja jatkoimme tarpomista synkeÀssÀ metsÀssÀ. Miksi piti lÀhteÀ seuraamaan yhtÀ pöllöÀ ! Mutta sitten toivonkipinÀ herÀsi, kun kaukana metsÀn reunassa nÀkyi ihmeellinen valkoinen viiva, sen tÀytyi olla tie tai vastaava. NiinpÀ sitten pÀÀsimme lopulta Porvoon tielle ja tilasimme mittariauton. VÀsyneinÀ mutta onnellisina kotona lÀmmitettiin sauna ja kyllÀpÀ tuntui hyvÀltÀ olla jÀlleen kotona ikimuistoisen retken jÀlkeen. Olemme kyllÀ edelleen kÀyneet Sippon korvessa kyllÀkin kartta ja kompassi varmuuden...
