Autumn Foliage, or so-called 'Ruska' in Finnish, is when leaves start turning into shades of yellow, orange, red, and brown to finally leave the tree and remind us about seizing the moment. Autumn foliage can be seen in Espoo typically from the third week of September and, depending on weather conditions (primarily the wind), may last from 10 days up to 3 weeks. By the end of October, the majority of colorful leaves already be gone.  So where to head when the 'Ruska'/Autumn Foliage time is at its best?
