After a run on the Haukankierros, there are few better places to refuel than Cafe Haukka. As the only cafe within Nuuksio National Park, it enjoys a fine location and is connected to several trails.

From this parking lot you can follow various walking routes. We followed the yellow route of approximately 8 km. This route is not accessible for wheelchairs or strollers and also not for people with walking difficulties. At various places in the park you can barbecue at designated places. Also bring your own drinks! A great recommendation to go walking or cycling here.

If you set off eastward from the hiking parking lot, you'll reach a small stream after just a few steps. It will accompany you for the next few meters—a beautiful start to your hike in Nuuksio National Park.

On this mostly wet section of the Nahkiaispolku Trail, wooden footbridges will keep you dry. However, be sure to watch your step while admiring the idyllic natural surroundings—one misstep, and you'll be continuing with wet shoes!

In Nuuskio national park, many path are clearly marked with coloured marks on trees. On this photo of a tree, there are marks of 3 routes (yellow, red and blue) which you can find correspondingly on the official map. Red marked route is 2.4 km Punarinnankierros, blue mark is 3,7 km Haukankierros and yellow mark is 7,2 km Korpinkierros. If you follow these marks, it is difficult to get lost even in worse weater conditions (fog or snow) https://julkaisut.metsa.fi/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/nuuksiofinsveeng.pdf
