Hiking services
In the Oulujärvi Hiking Area, services for hikers are available both on the smaller islands and on the more accessible Manamansalo island.
Campsites
- As campsites are shared resting places, you should show consideration towards other hikers.
- There is no waste management at the campsites, so bring your rubbish home.
- Lighting fires is only allowed at serviced and designated campfire sites.
- Before you light a fire, always check if any forest fire warnings are in effect. When a forest fire warning has been issued, lighting fires is restricted.
- Firewood is provided at campfire sites. Remember that you may have to chop up the wood yourself. Please use the firewood sparingly.
- Do not burn rubbish or tear off bark from living trees. You can use a small amount of clean paper and cardboard to light your fire.
- The last person to leave the campfire site is always responsible for putting out the fire.
Drinking water
- Always boil water from natural sources before drinking it.
- Do not wash dishes or yourself in natural waters.
- After use, remember to soak any washing water into the ground far enough away from natural waters.
Toilets
- Bring your own toilet paper.
Waste disposal
- Take your rubbish home, do not burn it.
- Remember to bring some rubbish bags when you go outdoors.
- Do not throw food waste out to the nature.
