"In Scandinavian folklore, the huldra (Norwegian, derived from a root meaning “covered,” “hidden,” or “secret”) is a very elusive and seductive creature of the forest. The huld-rå being is a rå, which is a keeper or warden of a particular location or landform. The different species of rå are sometimes distinguished according to the different spheres of nature with which they were connected, such as skogsrå or huldra (forest), sjörå (freshwater) or havsrå (saltwater), and bergsrå (mountains)."

I dont think I would be too happy to go picknicking, camping or walking in the forest in any Scandinavian country for fear of coming across one of those creatures! Even though you know its just a fairytale it would still make you wary of coming across any strangers you might see wandering around in the undergrowth.
