Mythical forest, “peace of mind” under the million stars

The silence of the forest, the glow of the summer sun on a calm lake, the darkness of autumn and the moonlight or the winter days with bright snow and the million stars of the nightly sky, in the middle of nowhere, surrounded just by the nature.

Let’s calm down in the beautiful forest environment, under the million stars or on a summery lakeside. We´ll tell you exciting stories about the old times and Finnish mythology; which kind of interesting inhabitants once lived in the forests, how did our forefathers manage with fairies, elves and other creatures, where did the gnomes keep their treasures etc.

Trips can be organized with different themes at different times of the year; spring time and summer / angling and forest hikes, autumn / forest hikes, starry sky, fishing with tridents for example, winter /ice fishing and starry sky, kicksled trips.

We offer you the equipments for fishing; fishing rods, lures used in ice fishing etc. Notice: you must have your own clothing and shoes according to weather.

Meals by the campfire

Have a small snack or a multi-course campfire meal. We will make a delicious meal to and with you! We will also tell you stories about Finnish traditions and mythology. (Note: transportation is not included)

We can also arrange a nature excursion according to your wishes. See excursion options under the Nature Saimaa main menu.

Or do you want to walk on forest trails with your own group only, without the local guide? In that case, how would it sound if you didn’t have to carry fins or dishes with you, though, but everything was delivered to you to a lean-to ready to wait for you? When you arrived at the break, the campfire would already have a warming, atmospheric fire and the snacks or meals you wanted will be there ready and just waiting for the serving?. Here, too, we offer the opportunity.

In addition to the following examples and dishes, ask about other possible meals by the campfire.

Examples (all examples include delivery of snacks to the campfire, lighting a fire, and, if necessary, cooking and serving food):
