UkkoHiisi Resort – Mysticism and Experiences in the Heart of Nature

UkkoHiisi Resort dives deep into Finnish mythology and early culture. UkkoHiisi is located in Koskiniemi, Tervo, between the Huuhtajankoski Rapids and Lake Nilakka, in areas where our ancestors have lived for thousands of years. In 2023, the world’s largest UkkoHiisi experience laavu (shelter) was completed, combining traditional Finnish construction, impressive wood art, and modern lighting to create a truly unique experience.

Unique Environment and a Sense of History

The UkkoHiisi area features archaeological sites, such as prehistoric charcoal kilns, the “Talking Sacred Tree,” and the “Käräjäkivi” (Court Stone), all part of the region’s long cultural heritage. At the laavu, you can step back thousands of years in time and immerse yourself in a world of mythology, stories, and beliefs, enhanced with modern elements such as holographic technology.
