Aim and content of the trip
The Health Forest is a model recommended by the THL, which allows you to participate in the healing effects of nature. THL estimates that participation in the Health Forest has a significant clinical effect on psychological well-being. On this relaxing hike, we will stop at revitalising scenic spots, do exercises that activate our well-being and relationship with nature, and learn about the healing power of nature.
Along the way, we'll admire the beautiful archipelago: open sea, peaceful inlets, coastal cliffs, rolling sandy ridges, lush pines and beautifully spooled evergreens. Nature stimulates creativity, attentiveness, cooperation and problem-solving skills, as well as calming and relieving stress.
The Health Forest is also an ideal part of a planning or recreation day.
Duration of the nature walk
Approximately 150 minutes. According to the wishes and needs of the group.
Intensity of the excursion
The aim is for everyone to have a leisurely walk and enjoy the scenery and the nurturing nature. No experience of hiking is required to take part in the excursion. It is enough to be able and willing to walk a few kilometres on a forest path.
The level of difficulty can be increased or decreased according to the needs of the group.
Join the hike
In nature, you move on nature's terms. It is advisable to dress appropriately for the hike. Good footwear makes walking on the trail comfortable. Bear in mind that it may be windy or damp near the sea. By dressing in layers you can ensure that you are warm, but you can also lighten up if necessary. Especially in warm weather, it's a good idea to bring your own water bottle.
