Lusto events

Lusto events and work demonstrations explain man’s relationship with the forest and the environment to visitors. Work demonstrations take visitors back in time by introducing them to traditional crafts and skills. Events that focus on all things related to forests offer visitors interested in forest culture an opportunity to spend time together while learning new skills.

Upcoming events

Chip Carving – The Beauty of Wood Shaped by Hand

Chip carving is a traditional woodworking technique where small chips are carefully carved from the surface of wood using a knife, creating decorative patterns and intricate details. In this demonstration, you can watch as precise knife strokes transform a simple piece of wood into a beautifully patterned surface. Come and experience the calm rhythm and timeless skill of handcraft.
