3.3.2021
Because of the coronavirus, safe distances should be kept even in nature, and thorough hand hygiene should be followed at huts, campfire sites and after using the toilet. Metsähallitus' policies and guidelines will be updated as the general corona guidelines become more specific. Check our website for the current situation: www.nationalparks.fi/coronavirusguidelines.
Directions
The National Park is located by sea about 18 km, that is, 10 International nautical miles, south of Ekenäs town centre.
A busy route between Helsinki and Hanko goes nearby the park.
The only way to get to the National Park is by the sea: either by your own boat or a taxi boat. It is possible to canoe to the islands of the park, but you need to be experienced in sea canoeing.
