Geocache Description:

About one 1 kilometer short offset (multi)geocache which presents some beautiful
hill forest nature of the Nuuksio national park.( 2 km there and back if a day trip. )

The Siberian flying squirrel (Pteromys volans) is the only species of flying squirrel
living in Europe. It is considered vulnerable within the European Union where it can
be found only in Finland, Estonia and Latvia.

Nuuksio area is well-known of the dense population of Siberian flying squirrels. The
official emblem of the Nuuksio National Park shows the Siberian flying squirrel for a
good reason.
