Tvijälp and Korkeasaari are two peaceful islands in the Espoo archipelago, both perfect for picking berries. The islands are located in the wealthy district of Westend. Tvijälp is has a long history, having been home to a peaceful fishermen's village for a long time. The beautiful nature and timeless, peaceful atmosphere are great for a relaxing day. Korkeasaari is located just east of Tvijälp and is known for lush forests and a rocky outcrop. Both islands are better for a few hours' rest and relaxation than for a whole day's stay, and they are best explored on a boat of your own; there is no regular boat traffic to either one.
