Finally a free weekend—and time for a quick one-nighter in Nuuksio National Park. I usually avoid national parks since they tend to be pretty popular here in Finland, and I prefer the solitude of the fjells. But I know a few secret spots in Nuuksio I head to when I really need to escape the city.

Snow forms these perfect, pillowy shapes on the forest floor—so soft and inviting it looks like you could just fall into it and rest. It makes everything feel gentle and safe. But the truth is, if you actually jumped in like it was a bed, you’d freeze to death within an hour. Nature’s beauty can be incredibly deceiving.

One of the most peculiar insects found in Lapland is the Tipulidae, known as "Hankihyttynen" or "Vaaksiainen" in Finnish. You can find these mosquito-resembling insects in the spring, flying around and crawling in the snow. Their larvae can survive temperatures as low as -30°C in their hideouts under the topsoil, although, to my understanding, the adults only come out when the weather gets warmer.
