Sanginjoki Forest Flavours Experience - berries and mushrooms picking or wildherb foraging by Naturest

Let’s Be Like Finns – From Forest to Table

For Finns, the forest is much more than scenery. It is often described as a market and a pharmacy at the same time – a place where people gather berries, mushrooms and wild herbs while restoring their wellbeing.

During this easy and relaxing guided walk, we explore the peaceful forests of Sanginjoki and search for seasonal natural ingredients. Depending on the time of year, we try find berries, mushrooms or wild herbs. While our guides know the best spots, nature always decides what it offers. What we can promise is the magic of the Finnish forest – its silence, scents and atmosphere. While in nature, we’ll enjoy picnic snacks, or have a lunch after the walk in Forest Ranger’s House, Loppula. This fresh traditional Finnish lunch, is prepared with local ingredients and inspired by forest flavours.

If you wish for a longer stay in Sanginjoki we can organize inspiring baking workshop in Loppula.

This experience offers a genuine glimpse into Finnish culture – simple, authentic and deeply connected to nature.

Transportation can be organized from Oulu. Participants need to have waterproof clothing and shoes.
