Imagine a deep lush forest full of juicy sun-kissed berries and meaty mushrooms, which you can use to prepare a tasty dinner. What we have here is one of our most popular summer tours – a guided walk through Lappish forests where we’ll go mushroom and berries picking. Get ready to indulge your senses!
This tasty tour starts with hotel pickup. After a short ride in our comfortable van, we will get our baskets ready and start our delicious adventure. Your knowledgeable English speaking guide will tell you more about traditional Finnish berry preservation, jam making and health benefits of this antioxidant-rich fruit. You can eat berries straight away, there is no need to wash them. However, bear in mind that not all berries and mushrooms are safe to eat. So, follow your guide and learn more about different types of mushrooms and berries, and different ways to enjoy them. Yum!
