DAY OF RELAXATION IN THE EMBRACE OF KOLI’S TRADITIONAL LANDSCAPES
Welcome! Connect with nature, feel at peace and enjoy wellness on a day trip to Nevala Nature Homestead. The day begins with a calm and grounding nature walk (approx 1 km) from Heraniemi, along a meandering path through changing forest scenery.
We’ll soon arrive at Nevala’s traditional farm where you get to pet finnsheep and -goats and enjoy the traditional landscape with peaceful meadows while having a snack inspired by the harvest of nature.
After a gentle start and a guided mindfulness and movement -session, Nevala’s hostess Sonja will lead you to the sauna.
In the traditional Finnish log-built sauna you will receive soothing care with local herbs powered by sauna songs from folklore. Let the steam warm you through traditionally guided, down-to-earth sauna bathing as the sauna cleans your body and soul.
Fresh from the sauna, a set table with a nourishing meal will be waiting for you. Produce from the garden and other gifts of nature are used to create a heartful lunch that you can enjoy in peace.
After lunch, your ride will be taking you back to the city directly from the nature farm.
Suitable for those with basic mobility and health – the pace is calm along the path with frequent breaks. There is no need for earlier experience from mindfulness or traditional sauna bathing. You are welcome just as you are!
