Harads
A tiny village in Swedish Lapland, known well beyond its size for what's built in its pine forest.
Harads has a population in the low hundreds and would be unremarkable if not for the architect-designed tree rooms built into its forest, which draw visitors from well outside Sweden. It's far enough north and inland that both the midnight sun in summer and the northern lights in winter are genuinely in play, not a marketing line.
