Why MetsäTravel?

The base of our travels is Tampere, which is the third largest city in Finland and the biggest inland city in the Nordic countries. Tampere is surrounded by forests and lakes: there are also four national parks in a radius of 60 km around the city.

Tampere is at the shore of lake Näsijärvi that stretches more than 100 km to the north. The city is also an important center for the region and has had an important role in Finnish history. We think that if you have not visited Tampere, you have not seen Finland.

We are a young, enthusiastic and multinational team. We live in and around Tampere and know the area like the back of our hands. We can show you the most beautiful spots, challenging nature routes and offer you the most comfortable places for accommodation.

We can help you with finding accommodation, rental equipment or personal services. We also offer guiding services and work in cooperation with many different partners providing the best services for you.

So if you want us to help you making your personal "travel dream" come true,
we are here for you. Just send us a mail and we will make an offer.

Hello I am Bert and was born in Belgium. I have been exploring the Belgian fields and forests since my childhood. After finishing my studies in forestry and nature conservation, I started working in the forests. I also volunteered for local nature conservation organizations and started organizing guided tours in Belgium and other countries.

Being in the nature is a real passion for me and I find Finland truly an interesting place to live in. I moved to a nice little village called Kuru on the shore of lake Näsijärvi near the national parks Seitseminen and Helvetinjärvi. I mostly guide the tours and participate in developing the programs.
