In winter, you can walk the trail with children using the On a Hare’s Trail material.
Nature House Villa Elfvik also serves as a starting point for other short nature trails. The Väinö the Crow nature trail for children dives into the old forest. Trails for adults are the History of the Village Landscape (Kylämaiseman historia) nature trail and the History Herbarium (Historiakasvio) trail. The one-kilometre-long mobile nature trail, Journey with Flying Squirrel, introduces both adults and children to the life of Espoo’s symbol animal.
Villa Elfvik is easy to reach by bus. Along Ring I, the Kurkijoentie bus stop is about 750 metres away from Nature House Villa Elfvik. The parking area along Elfvikintie road also has a city bike station.
