Our group went to Seitseminen National Park! We experienced Finnish family trip with bonfire and sausages. Elisa took her family and we took our friends from Poland who came to visit us these days.
It was a great experience to see so many groups of the youths and kids using the forest in a sustainable way. I was so impressed with people’s awareness in the area of nature and forest. It’s important to educate people how significant is nature and how to take care of it. From the very beginning, children and adults should feel respect to the Mother Nature and this exactly happen here in Finland! Unfortunately in Poland awareness in this topic is still low. I could see a lot of people in the Seitseminen National Park this day and it was still so clean. I couldn’t see any rubbish there. The forest was adapted to spend a free time by local people. There were places to make a bonfire outside on the air and inside in the cottages when the weather is not so nice. Many areas to seat and in every bigger stop there was a dry toilet. Other countries need to follow this behavior. They should learn from Finland how to educate people and how to adjust forest to the people and vice versa. We had an awesome day in the park, watching water birds and enjoying the silence of nature. Guys were cutting the wood and prepared bonfire. Really chill time in the company of our Finnish Family. We also saw some tents in the forest and people were probably sleeping there. These things are forbidden to do in Poland and I am so happy that there is a country when you can do it without any restrictions. Just you and nature. Awesome thing.
I was so happy we were there together. We heard a lot of interesting facts about Finland and National Park from Elisa and Teemu, eating sausages from the bonfire and other snacks. Great day!
