Enjoying nature responsibly
Nature and its offerings are often an essential part of a journey to the north, and enjoying them is among the highlights of many visits. In Finland, Everyman’s Right allows everyone to move freely in nature and to pick berries and mushrooms, but it also comes with the responsibility to respect the environment, its peace and quiet, and other visitors.
Move through nature calmly, keep a respectful distance from private properties, and leave each place as pleasant as you would hope to find it yourself. If you bring food, gear or anything else with you, please also take it away, including all waste. In this way, shared rest areas, campfire sites and trails remain enjoyable and well maintained for those who come after you.
