Nuuksio ( Swedish. Noux ) is one of the outer districts of the Finnish city of Espoo . The terrain is impassable because of its cliffs, which are unusually steep for Finnish standards, and therefore hardly populated. There are extensive forests , moors and lakes .
The district is named for the Nuuksio National Park , which also extends to the area of the neighboring communities Kirkkonummi and Vihti .
