FINLAND with Ruth and Jürgen Haberhauer

No other creature embodies the Finns' connection to nature and the complex relationship between humans and animals quite like the bear. It offers an excellent lens through which to approach a country at the eastern edge of the European Union.

Travel photographers Ruth and Jürgen Haberhauer immerse us in the extraordinary culture and world of the "happiest people," experiencing their deep bond with nature, hospitality, and openness.

The lecture "Finland - From Wild Bears to Happy People" takes visitors through Finnish natural beauty, into remote regions of this sparsely populated country, and close to intimate stories and encounters with great predators.
