Facilities
Heating and lighting
The cabin has a stove and firewood for heating. Use the firewood sparingly. Please note that it takes time for the cabin to warm up.
The cabin has no electricity. We recommend a headlamp, which leaves your hands free for cabin chores. For safety reasons, burn candles on a non-flammable surface and supervise them at all times.
Cooking
Gas stove, pots, frying pan, and dining dishes and utensils for six people.
Drinking water
The cabin has no running water.
Drinking water is from a borehole. The well is about 100 meters from the cabin along the path, near the road. The water is tested every three years.
Staying overnight
There are two bunk beds in the cabin and one bunk bed in the insulated entrance hall. The beds have mattresses, blankets, and pillows.
Bring your own sheets or sleeping bag and towels.
There is a bed for a dog in the entrance hall.
Sauna
In a separate building, there is a wood-heated sauna.
Sauna water is from the lake or the ring well next to the sauna (not for drinking).
Toilet
There is a dry toilet near the hut. Please bring your own toilet paper.
Waste disposal
There are no waste containers by the cabin. Visitors are advised to take their accumulated waste with them.
Metsähallitus follows the principles of litter-free hiking. Visitors are adviced to bring their own waste out of the area. Read more about hiking without littering (nationalparks.fi).
Other things to keep in mind
The Hirvaan Kierros hiking trail passes between the cabin and the sauna.
The cabin does not have accessible services.
The construction of the cabin and the borehole has been supported by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.
Please clean the cabin before you leave.
Safety
There may be areas with no mobile phone coverage at the hiking destinations. In such situations, moving to a higher, open area may help. Check the mobile network coverage with your operator before heading out.
The cabins have smoke detectors, but we recommend bringing a 9V battery and/or your own portable smoke detector.
