and Traditional Local Dinner, NEW!

Welcome to enjoy traditional local countryside dinner and get to know more about the local countryside lifestyle and history. The place is located on the border of Oulanka national park, 15km from Ruka, on the shore of the lake, and is surrounded by nature. After arriving, the program starts with crowberry and birch sap juice as a welcoming drink, and straight after guests are involved in dinner preparation. Together with farmers you will collect herbs from the garden, check fishing traps for a catch, and bake potatoes in the open fire.
