With a guide, you get more out of the destination and learn new things about nature and our history.
Did you know that Torronsuo is the deepest bog in Finland and its development history already dates back to the last ice age? Do you know the unique survival methods of swamp nature or the folklore and mythology associated with the swamp? Where did Torronsuo get its name or who might have lived here before us?
Dive into the history of the marsh through flying stories will open your eyes to see the nature of the marsh in a new way.
Guided by the guide, we walk through the pine trees of Torronsuo for a distance of about two kilometers, talking casually. Time spent in the swamp is 1.5-2 hours. The route is comfortable and partly barrier-free, so no special equipment is needed, just a mind open to stories.

A peaceful wild herb walk in the Forssa National City Park guides you to the use of Finnish wild herbs.
Do you want to know what kind of wild herbs there grows in Finland and how do we use them? Are they similar than in your country or very different. We are looking for the herbs to smell and see the identification marks of them, not to eat them. You can taste the herbs, but we don´t pick them very much because we are in the city parks. But you will learn a lot and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Our route runs in the unique milieu of Loimijoki riverside, a landscape enlivened by green parks and old buildings. Along the way we find many wild herbs. Our route measures a couple of kilometers.

This largest oasis swamp area in Southern Finland in Torronsuo National Park is about 8,500 years old. A swamp this old has many stories to tell, but it needs an interpreter for its words so that we can understand.
The healer lady takes travelers to the past, centuries back, to the old ways of using plants and natural beliefs.
Through stories, the tour introduces travelers to the mystical powers and old ways of using wild plants, combining history and the present into a whole that supports and strengthens the relationship with nature.
Do you happen to know what was the most valuable trade item in Häme almost a thousand years ago or for what purposes the plant treasure trove of the swamp was used. After this trip, you have greeted Tapio, cupped water and smelled herbs. And watch out, you might see a shaman.

In nature-based exercises, nature is used as a tool and nature's gentle force that stimulates openness, concentration and creativity is utilized for effective relaxation. There is a lot of researched information available about the effects of nature on health and well-being. Nature itself revitalizes and with professional guidance we can strengthen the positive experience.
Years of work as a nature teacher, trainer and entrepreneur provides a solid foundation for guiding exercises in nature. Green care coaching based on the empowering effect of nature as a support for well-being is a matter of my heart.

We recommend the Korteniemi traditional farm and its nearby routes, such as Ahonnokka, as route destinations. While walking the forest ranger's paths, the guide tells stories about the forest ranger's work, forests and traditions. In Korteniemi, we get to know the life of the farm a century ago.
