Haagan Alppiruusupuisto is a lush, tree-filled park in western Helsinki, best known for its blooming rhododendrons—but in the evening, it transforms into a peaceful soundscape alive with birdsong. This special walk invites participants to slow down and tune into the calls and songs of woodland and city birds as the day winds down.

Rather than covering long distances, the focus is on quiet listening, observation, and presence. The soft light and calm atmosphere make it a perfect time to learn how to recognize different species by their sounds, guided by an experienced birdwatcher. No equipment or prior experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to pause.

The area is easily accessible for strollers, wheelchairs, and walkers, and benches along the way offer space to sit and take it all in. A gentle, restorative way to connect with nature without rushing—ideal for anyone seeking a mindful evening outdoors.
