@david42@mastodon.online @tab2space@mastodon.social @eanakashima@hachyderm.io Latvian folk heroes tend to be more on the strong/agile side (Kurbads, Lāčplēsis). The larger one I recall, Lielais (Big) Kristaps, was more into crossing rivers. My first association of somebody using trees for skis was with the Estonian Suur Tõll, probably because of the great sculpture they have on Saaremaa (coudn't find my own pictures, though).
