Heggelia


Heggelia
Originally uploaded by skibohemen.

This place was originally a Finnish settlement established around 1680 or so. People have lived here for centuries since, but last year the place was abandoned by the current owners. Luckily, a group of volunteers called "Friends of Heggelia" made it possible to serve food and refreshments each weeking during winter, a service well appreaciated by thousands of skiers passing by during the winter.

Despite the beautiful weather today, not many visitors were seen during our stay, even if it is winter holidays in public schools now.
