Morning light filters through tall, sleep‑roughened pines as participants step off a short trail and into a hush that only subarctic woods can hold. The HaliPuu—literally the “hugging tree” grove—arrives after a 500‑meter walk; century‑old pines lean and arch, roots wrapped in moss and lichen, offering natural alcoves where hammock cocoons are strung like quiet promises.

History
The woodland was preserved when a local lumberjack, known as Pappa, chose not to harvest the old pines—those trees now host international adopters and local storytelling.
Conservation
