Once upon a time, a woman came from the forest. Her appearance was somewhat rough, perhaps even ragged. She knew spells and charms and understood the effects of wild herbs. She knew the forest like the back of her hand. She wished to share her knowledge and skills with others. At first, people regarded her with suspicion, but soon they realized that she was warm and open at heart. She was admired and respected. Here in Syvänmaa, you too can become part of her and her mysterious story. Become one with nature.

The Legend of the Wise Woman of Syvänmaa brings your group together around the campfire for a three-course campfire dinner made from pure and high-quality ingredients. Preparing the food goes hand in hand with the unfolding of the legend throughout the evening. The hostess of Karkausmäki Guesthouse, Jenni, and nature guide Heidi, guide you through both the recipes and the secrets of campfire cooking, as well as the building of the Legend of the Wise Woman of Syvänmaa.

The Legend of the Wise Woman of Syvänmaa lasts about 4–5 hours, including campfire meal and dining together. The legend is built piece by piece during the evening at the Karkausmäki Guesthouse. Drama pedagogue Heidi gently guides the group toward the legend in a safe and welcoming atmosphere. By the end of the evening, the story is read aloud to the group.

Do you hear the call of the Wise Woman of Syvänmaa?
