Welcome to Panuma!Panuma is a small yet lively country village in Northern Finland. Hardly bigger than any other tiny hamlet in Finland, the village of Panuma is located in the south-western part of the town of Pudasjärvi. See map for location. Although Panuma is located in midst of forests and swamps, it makes a pleasant dwelling place — at least for those just a little more than one hundred people who live there.
Panuma is inhabited ever since the 1500's... In old documents, there are records of settlement from as early as the 1500's.
Nowadays no less than one dozen families have their homes in Panuma, a few more houses are in almost regular use all the year round and there are also many summer cottages and leisure homes all around the Lake Panuma.
We make our living here working mostly in industry, traffic and service branch, in nearby towns like Pudasjärvi or in Oulu city. Furthermore, some of us are entrepreneurs, too.
In Panuma some tourism and accommodation service with additional activities is also available. There is also a reindeer ranch where you can see various farm animals - including sheep, hens and reindeer. |
