Korppi – treehouse – under construction
In Karelian language, the metaphor of the soul animal in the shape of a bird is repeated. The bird takes care of the sleeper during sleep, so that the soul does not go its own way. The soul bird of Venejoki is definitely the raven, the rustling of its wings can often be heard in the quiet forest of Piilo.
Korppi is a safe and dark-toned treehouse where you spend the night in the trees.
