Just hanging out!

Silence tourism - get to know the new relax program – Just Hanging Out! – A night of "forest bathing". A night in forest. Become one with nature, feel how the wind blows, experience how a dewdrop feels on your skin, taste the sunset! Close your eyes and sense, taste and breathe in sync with nature. When you’re just hanging out you can enjoy the rain like nature’s shower or curl up in a hammock under a shelter and listen to the rain dance on the roof. "Forest bathing"  (Shinrin-yoku, a form of nature therapy) is all about caring for your mind and body while taking a trip into yourself. Come and experience the natural alphabet of our forefathers and spend an unforgettable night in the wilderness!

Spend a night in a private nature reserve in hammocks (a Finnish lean-to and small cabin also available, if needed) near a lake / campfire site.

Possibility of fishing with rods, canoeing, walking on silence trail.
