Hiking services
The Nature Reserve has plenty of hiking trails. There is a campfire site in the research park on Laukansaari
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 prohibited.
-
On the northern shore of Laukansaari, within the Research Park area, is the Karjalankallio campfire site. The Karjalankallio campfire site is covered and has a chimney, so making a fire is allowed even during a forest fire warning, with special caution.
-
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 or on well covers.
- After use, remember to soak any washing water into the ground far enough away from natural waters or water supply points.
Toilets
