The Silesjuuhâ / Silisjoki rental hut is located along the marked trail in the demanding wilderness area of Kaldoaivi on the shore of Lake Opukasjärvi, by the mouth of River Silisjoki. The hut is not accessible during the thaw. River Näätämöjoki is one of the most popular salmon fishing rivers in Finland. Its headwaters, in particular, are also excellent for grayling fishing. The wilderness character of River Näätämöjoki creates a fine atmosphere for visitors. At this river, which is located far away from roads, you will be able to fish in tranquil wilderness. In addition to the old, atmospheric log cabin, there is also a spacious sauna by the shore. Please note that there is a quota for the number of fishing licences to be sold for River Näätämöjoki.
