Join us for a pleasant hike, where we also visit the shieling Haukas. Our welcoming hosts will tell us about life on the farm. In the old days the farms in the village were very small, so it was important to utilize the outlying areas for summer grazing. Each year, the cows were moved to the farm where they grazed and were milked morning and evening. The grazing space was so far from the village that it was necessary to build houses for the milk maidens. The old farmhouses on Haukas were restored in the 1990-century, and are reminders of a bygone era. You will have time to explore the site on your own, and then taste the local delicacies. After the visit we follow the road on the opposite side of the valley, and make a stop at the local general store.
