We are a German family running a homestead & business in the wilderness of Finnish Northern Karelia.

Metsähaasi

You might be wondering what the word Metsähaasi means. Metsä in Finnish means forest and Haas is our family name which translates from German as Hare. In Finnish the mountain hare (Lepus timidus) is called Metsäjänis. So we simply replaced jänis with our family name and added an i on the end, which in Finnish is an indication for a loanword.
