Take the Train to Nature

VR and Metsähallitus have compiled a list of nature sites that can be accessed without a car.

The Metsähallitus website julkaisut.metsa.fi has been updated

Julkaisut.metsa.fi contains the details and PDF files of a wide range of different publications of Metsähallitus, such as guides, reports and destination brochures. At the moment, nearly 2,500 publications are available on the website. 

The website julkaisut.metsa.fi has now been updated and integrated more closely with the metsa.fi website. As part of the update, we have also made the website more accessible. However, the domain name and search functions have remained unchanged. 

As a result of the update, the links providing direct access to PDF files were broken, and we have started to repair the links in the metsa.fi and nationalparks.fi services. Please note that if you have linked your online service to julkaisut.metsa.fi, the website addresses have changed.
