This wilderness hut was built by the Kuusamo tourism board and is situated on the shore of Lake Kulmakkojärvi on Karhunkierros Hiking Trail. It is about 15 km from the visitor centre and 5 km from the River Kitkajoki.
A modest open wilderness hut is available year-round.
The open wilderness hut is a shared and free resting and overnight place for independent hikers. You can stay in wilderness huts for one or two nights without a reservation. Be prepared for the possibility that there may not be enough space to sleep in the hut.
