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 after the payment.

Facilities

Heating and lighting

  • The hut has a wood-burning 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, tableware and kitchen utensils.

Drinking water

  • There is no running water in the hut and no well in the yard.

  • You must bring your own drinking water, use the water from the lake only for bathing and washing the dishes. 

Staying overnight

  • Two bunk beds, mattresses, pillows, blankets.

  • Please bring your own linen or a sleeping bag.

Sauna

  • Wood heated sauna in the same building.

  • There is an ice saw in the hut which can be used to break the lake's ice layer in winter to get washing water. Make the opening slightly away from the pier. In this way, the pier structures remain intact.

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

  • Please clean the hut before you leave.

Safety

  • Mobile phone coverage is poor in this area! 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.

  • The hut has a fire extinguisher and a fire blanket as well as fire alarms, but we recommend to bring a 9 V battery and/or your own travel fire alarm with you.
