Olarin terveysluontopolku

The Olari health nature trail is a nature trail located in Kokinmetsä, Espoo Central Park, along which you will find several natural elements that have a positive effect on your health. Along the trail of approximately 2.5 km, there are eight checkpoints with three separate exercises each. The exercises on the information boards guide the hikers to observe, learn and experience nature’s many health effects from mental well-being to improved physical condition. For those seeking the health benefits of nature, the exercises along the path offer a break from everyday life, helping them to connect to the sensations of the mind and body.

The health nature trail can be followed in both directions, and the checkpoints do not have to be visited in order. The exercises on the information boards are provided in three languages. The health nature trail intersects with outdoor routes in several places, so you can easily walk just part of it. The nature trail is partly challenging, with tree roots, duckboards, steps and elevation variations. 360-degree photographs of the information boards on the health nature trail are available in the Espoo Map Service: kartat.espoo.fi(external link, opens in a new window)
