Elf Spotting at Lapinlahti!

A group of tiny elves has hidden themselves around the Lapinlahti area. Santa needs your help to find these little runaways – there’s no time for mischief now! The elves are hiding behind the old hospital building in the garden courtyard, waiting for sharp-eyed spotters to discover them.
And psst… they also have something important to tell you!

Elf Spotting is a self-guided adventure suitable for all ages. Come with family or friends, wander peacefully through the beautiful park, and count how many elves you can find.
Among those who report the correct number in this Facebook event, a surprise prize will be raffled!

You can enjoy the elf trail anytime between 13 December 2025 and 5 January 2026.

Warmly welcome to step outside, explore, and feel the magic of the season! ✨

This event is supported by the Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment of Central Finland (ELY) and organized by the Lapinlahti Urban Nature Centre.
A wonderful group of volunteers helped craft the elves, and some were kindly donated. Thank you to everyone involved!
