The wilderness hut built for tourism in the late 1960s is situated in the northern portion of Oulanka National Park on the bank of the River Aventojoki. The hut is on Karhunkierros Trail 5 km from the Ristikallio starting point.

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.
