Let a local guide take you to visit her house in the middle of an area where the bears and many
other wild animals are roaming! The house is located 25 kilometers away from the center of Kuhmo, in middle of a forest where you can observe animal tracks, signs of the ice age and in the summertime berries and mushrooms. We will have a small walk in the area,
max. 4 kilometers.
After the walk we will head inside of the house, where we will enjoy some coffee/tea and snacks. The guide will tell you about interesting local lifestyle that connects traditions with modern technology. Perhaps you will learn why Finnish people are the happiest in the world!
Note: There is a cat in the house, so this tour is not suitable for allergic people.
Healing from the nature
Enjoy the nature and learn interesting things about the healing power of the forest. You get also a self made resin cream jar to take home with you. We will head to a commercial forest about 15 min drive from the hotel. We will look for spruce trees and their resin. We will collect some resin with us, then cook resin cream by open fire. We will also have a snack on the fire while waiting for the cream to heat. Resin cream smells incredible and it can clean wounds
and cure rash, mosquito bites and other skin problems.
Everyone gets a tiny jar to take home.
