Seurasaari is the closest place to Helsinki to enjoy nature. The forested island with rocky beaches can be reached by bridge from the western outskirts of the city.
Until I reached the festivity ground, where youngsters were having an activity day. Continuing my walk over Seurasaari island, I reached the southern tip of the island: with small rocky beaches, sea with algae and lots of birds. From here, I had a good view of the bay. I passed an inner lake in the forest of the island, and reached the nudist beach - strangely enough, with separate areas for men and women. I had a quick dip in the water which was still pretty cold, before going on and taking the path leading right over Seurasaari. I spotted quite a few squirrels playing in the woods - they appeared not at all shy and actually curiously came to me to discover the intruder of their silent forest. I again came across several wooden buildings, one of them a typical Finnish sauna, belonging to the open-air museum. The tranquillity of the forest, the absence of noise and the twittering of birds almost gave the impression of a desolate place - until I came closer to the bridge again.
