At one with nature – hammocking in the Arctic
Kicking back in a hammock might be most commonly associated with the soft sand and gentle ocean tides of a beach holiday. But anyone who's ever enjoyed the supreme comfort and enchanting sense of weightlessness that these unique pieces of furniture offer will know that their relaxing properties are not confined to hotter climes or sandy strands. For a truly different kind of hammock holiday, why not head to Halipuu forest in northern Finland?
Colloquially known as the hugging forest, Halipuu is a nature lover's mecca. People from all over the globe come here to adopt a tree, enfold it in a warm embrace and spend a few hours at peace with the planet in a setting quite like no other. In today's modern world of commerce and complications, the restorative power of getting away from it all and reconnecting with nature under a canopy as unspoiled and idyllic as this Arctic forest is worth its weight in gold.
