Rytitupa rental hut is located at the Rytivaara Crown Tenant Farm in Rytivaara, along the Syöte-Kouva UKK-trail. The wooden hut is a former wilderness hut which earlier stood at south hillside of Rytivaara. There it served hikers for 10 years before it was moved 3 km to its present location and changed into a reservable hut. In the Rytivaara hut you can experience spending the night in a forest croft, with an atmosphere of the olden days. There is also a sauna in the yard.
A rental hut is a place for an overnight stay that can be rented for only your use.

Arrival instructions
From the Iso-Syöte main road (nro 858) there are road signs to the Rytivaara, which is about 18 km from Syöte village, along the Karsikkoperäntie road. The road signs lead to the Ukonvaara parking lot, which is 4 km from the hut. In the fall and spring time (In May) the road can be undriveable for some period of time.
The road to Ukonvaara parking lot is maintained during wintertime, but conditions can change quickly! In case of a sudden heavy snowfall the road might be undriveable.
There is no marked trail to the cabin during winter. In winter, you will need snowshoes or backcountry skis to reach the cabin.
Read more about the area and more detailed arrival instructions on Nationalparks.fi.
Yard
A sauna, woodshed and a dry toilet, as well as a campfire site in the farm yard.
Keys
The key is in a key code box on the hut wall. The box is protected with a code. Instructions and the code are sent to you by e-mail after the payment.
Take lock de-icer with you just in case the box's lid is stuck due to frost. Metsähallitus does not have maintenance on site.
Facilities
Heating and lighting
The hut has a stove and firewood for heating. Please use firewood sparingly. Please note that it takes some time before the hut is properly warm.
The hut has no electricity. We recommend using a headlamp, which leaves your hands free to do chores around the hut. For safety reasons, candles must be burned on a non-combustible surface and constantly monitored.
Cooking
A gas stove, saucepans and a frying pan. No other cooking utensils.
Drinking water
There is no running water in the hut.
The water in the yard's wells have not be en examined, so bringing your own drinking water is preferable. From the farm's sauna there is a trail leading to a waterhole. It is recommended to boil water from natural sources before consumption. Water quality is not tested. Drink water taken directly from nature at your own risk.
See tips on how to obtain safe drinking water on a hike (Nationalparks.fi).

Other things to keep in mind

Safety
Although Finland has a broad network for mobile phones, there are some areas in the park without signal. If this happens try to climb to a higher place or go into an open area. Check the mobile network coverage with your mobile phone operator before your trip.
