Unique atmosphere of active village

The uniqueness of a small village can be seen especially in events. It may sometimes happen that you forget to say hi to your neighbour in the hustle of bigger cities, or you need to make space for you schedules to meet a friend over coffee. This is not the case in Ranua. Here, the villagers gather together to organize market fairs, sports competitions and services. And, you are welcome to join. Just for the warning though, after visiting Ranua, the lifestyle sticks with you, and you might notice yourself talking to strangers without any hurry.
