The trees were planted in the 1970s by the prison. In the shade of spruce trees, there is a path about half a kilometre long, along which you can find dozens of mythical characters, goblins, giants and animal figures, surrounded by mosses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The park was originally created by <em>Kerttu Meht&auml;l&auml;<\/em> and <em>Arja Mustaniemi<\/em> together with the villagers. Nowadays, it has been renovated in youth workshops and by volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photos: Heli Kallio-Kauppinen, Riitta-Johanna Laitinen \/ MSL<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"rnb_background_color_box
