On the way to the Finnish city of Savonlinna in the area Parikala is a sculpture Park "Mystical forest". It is necessary to stop and move away from the road, as you find yourself in a very strange and eerie (according to my feelings) place.
All the sculptures that are in the Park, invented and created by one man - the sculptor-taught Veijo Rönkkönen. He created sculptures for 50 years. The Park features about 500 pieces of concrete sculptures that depict people in a variety of poses. Veijo Rönkkönen worked in a paper factory. He had no art education. Creating sculptures was his hobby. After his death in 2010, his house and the space of the house where these sculptures were placed turned into an open-air Museum. Throughout the Park there are paths and labyrinths, where you can walk and get to different locations.
"Welcome to the Mystical forest," this figure tells us.
All the teeth in the sculptures are real human. They say that the sculptor was supplied with them by his friends-dentists.
How about this couple?
Get ready for charging!
This Is A "Yoga Room"
Can you do the same?)
It's Adam. I forgot to photograph Eva.
And here you can see a piece of the footpath, on each turn of which there are a variety of characters.
Veijo Rönkkönen had a complicated relationship with his mother and complexes about his appearance. These problems are reflected in his work.
This is his self-portrait
The Park has a lot of children's sculptural groups that are engaged in athletics or dancing.
There are also sculptures of animals. There's a kangaroo.
Three bears.
I liked that some of the sculptures were turned into flower beds. It's very original.
This place causes feelings of horror or delight.
And what feelings do you have at the sight of these sculptures?
Cheers

Wow those statues are creepy! And awesome <3. I bet it will be even more terrifying in the dark, is it open for public at night?
Awesome photos, Veta ^_^.
Hi @scrawly) I think it's open at night. This same is in the forest and passage the free...Probably, only the house-Museum is closed. Yeah, it's creepy ))
OMG what a peculiar place ! i dont think i'd like to walk in there at night by myself... hahahahaha
but this is so cool ! What an awesome post ! Thank you for taking me 'virtually' through this VERY unusual park <3 <3 <3
Lots of mixed emotions.
у меня тоже! но были и восхищенные люди, которые говорили - боже, как красиво!
Дело даже не в том, что красиво или нет... Фотографии уже наводят чувство какого-то мистицизма. Столько много статуй... сразу в голове вспоминаются рассказы детства о том, что статуи ожили и захватили города. :)
Да, знаешь, еще все это в лесу...было жутковато) да еще и зубы у них настоящие)

Wow this guys really had a passion for creating sculptures! So many! Ok I agree with you, it is a little eerie especially the ones with real human teeth! Eeek! 😆

Oh, Yes, creepy)) I imagine how there in the evening or at night ))
I think I feel a little of both @veta-less
The human teeth are a bit scary. Impressive all-round work though.
Thanks for sharing.
Gaz
Yes, this place is very impressive!
Thanks for comment!
Немного жутковатое но интересное место;)
Жутковатое, согласна!

Thank you!!
I think they're awesome! And there's so many, that's just incredible. The real human teeth part is a bit creepy, but otherwise I think they are quite delightful.
Yes, this place does not leave indifferent! I'm a little scared of human teeth, too..But they are not made in every sculpture.
Being alone there while the clouds are dark and a cold breeze is around, that would make it super eerie and cool at the same time! Like something off the movies. But they are some cool sculptures, would be worth a look if ever there.
The image that intrigues me the most is 'Get ready for charging' as the figures have quite a surreal, almost indigenous quality. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
These are really creepy yet unique!
I upvoted your post.
Keep steeming for a better tomorrow.
