Suohpášávžži Kultala / Morgamojan Kultala rental hut is located along the marked trail in the demanding wildernesslike National Park of Lemmenjoki. The hut is not accessible during the thaw. The log cabin, also known as Pellisen kämppä, was built in 1975 in the location of a former cabin that was used by gold prospectors. The hut is situated about 4,5 km northwest of the Lemmenjoki river valley in a ravine by the River Morgamoja, which flows into Lake Morgamjärvi. The hut was renovated in 2017. The same building houses an open wilderness hut, and there is a sauna in the yard.
A rental hut is a place for an overnight stay that can be rented for only your use.

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.
