Espoo outdoor islands

The Espoo outdoor islands are territories owned by the city of Espoo, Finland, which are suitable for hiking, and some of which are suitable for overnight camping.

The city of Espoo has twelve outdoor islands. There are public boat connections to Iso Vasikkasaari and to the outer islands of Stora Herrö, Rövaren and Gåsgrund. The M/S Aurora departs from Otaniemi and the M/S Tuulikki from Kivenlahti.

It is possible to land with one's own boat in Knapperskär, Kaparen, Rövargrundet, Fölisholmen and Tvijälp in Westend. Knapperskär and Fölisholmen are suitable for overnight tenting, and the islands have barbecue facilities and dry toilets. There is a small cabin built by the local hunting society on Knapperskär, which is normally not open to the public.
