Come and experience the magic of Summer nights in the forrest
Depending of the time of summer, the moment between dusk and dawn is anything between minutes to a couple of hours. And even then it doesn´t really get dark. The world goes silent as the birds go to sleep and the wind slows down. And then again the night sounds come in, all the nocturnal creatures start their daily toil. The smells are different as plants move in their cycle of life. And beyond these senses, there is the feeling of something else. You can't describe it, you just have to take it in. Magic? Come and find out for yourself.
On this trip we take a short tram/bus ride to a close by nature preserve with plenty of nice trails. We go in when we still have more light (actual schedule will vary according to time of summer) and hike to a comfortable, secluded place. We put away our phones and set up spots for everyone to sit alone and experience the night. The spots will be set so that there is no line of sight to the next one, but still safely in formation and close to others. After experiencing first light or a healthy portion of somber darkness, we gather around and discuss what we just experienced over some nice hot tea or juice. Eventually we turn on our headlamps and head back to civilization.

How to prepare
Wear proper shoes; Hiking shoes are best, running shoes or boots are OK too. Water proof if possible, this is the land of swamps and thousands of lakes!
Dress according to weather; Our summers are warm and winters are cold, and then there´s everything in between. Mostly wet. And wet means quickly cold. So even in the summer, long sleeves and pants are advised, at least brought along. Some type of headwear is good, it´s always good to have as much as possible between you and the sun, rain and mosquitos. Winter is cold, sometimes real cold, wear enough!
Open your senses and mind, shut down your phone. Honestly, this is the best thing you can do. Taking pictures is OK of course, but remember that the lens can never experience what your senses can.
