Arrival instructions
The hut yard is not accessible by car. The car must be left at a parking lot located about 600 meters away, and you need to walk from there to the cabin.
Driving instructions
From Highway 2 (Helsinki - Pori), take the Kanteluksentie road (road sign "Liesjärvi 8" at the junction, no 13 606). The distance from Forssa to the Kanteluksentie crossroads is 21 km. Drive roughly 5.5 km along Kanteluksentie. Another track (Katavalammintie) turns left from Kanteluksentie. Take this track and drive for some 300 metres, until you reach the information board. You can park your car there.
The foot path to Peukaloinen starts from the board behind the barrier. The distance from the barrier to the hut is roughly 600 metres.
By public transportation
Several express coaches (expressbus.fi) travel daily along Highway 2. The nearest bus stop is located on Highway 2 at the Kyynäräntie junction. The distance from the bus stop to Peukaloinen is some 7 km. The map is needed to find the route.

Yard
The yard has a toilet, woodshed and campfire site.
The hut grounds are situated in a pine forest and, closer to the pond, the terrain becomes more marshy. Peukalolammi is a mire pool and is not user friendly for swimming. There is no official swimming spot in the area.
No camping is allowed on the hut grounds.
Keys
The key is in a key cabinet on the hut wall. The cabinet is protected with a code. Instructions and the code are sent to you by e-mail at the time of booking.
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 stove, tableware and cooking utensils.
Drinking water
There is no running water in the hut or well in the yard.
The nearest well is at the north end of Kyynäränharju.
Staying overnight
A bunk (no matresses, blankets or pillows).
Please bring your own linen or a sleeping bag.
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
There are no accessible services in the hut.
Please clean the hut before you leave.
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.
There are fire alarms at wilderness huts, but we recommend to bring a 9 V battery and/or your own travel fire alarm with you.
