Autumn in Finland

Not only in summer, trees and plants are growing green leaves in a very short time, but also in autumn, the speed of green leaves changing from green to yellow, brown and red is very fast. The autumn wind is rustling and rolling with fallen leaves, which is full of autumn.

Autumn in Finland is also some kind of rainy season. Occasionally cloudy and humid weather is very suitable for the growth of wild mushrooms. Every Finnish who likes to collect wild mushrooms has a secret mushroom collection base. Wild berries, which began to grow at the end of summer, grow very well in early autumn, so if you come in the right time, you can also pick wild berries and wild mushrooms as much as you like in the forest.

Finns like nature, regardless of the seasons. Autumn is a good time for hiking and camping in the forest.
If you like a peaceful atmosphere, light a fire in the cottage, drink a cup of hot tea or coffee, wrap yourself in a blanket, a kind of calm from nature, slowly melt into your heart.
