Yli-Luosto open wilderness hut

Yli-Luosto open wilderness hut is the oldest hut in the Pyhä-Luosto National Park, built in 1949. The modest open wilderness hut is in use all year round. There is no marked winter trail to the hut, and access to the hut in winter is demanding.

The open wilderness hut is a shared and free resting and overnight place for independent hikers (not for commercial use). 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. You can sleep in the yard of the hut in your own tent.

Facilities:

• Bunk beds (no mattresses) with sleeping space for maximum 4 persons. Bring your own sleeping bag and sleeping pad.
• Heating with a wood stove.
• The wood stove has a hot plate. There is a basic cooking pot in the hut. Bring your own cooking utensils and tableware.
• Pets are allowed in the hut only with the consent of other users.
• Small brook Luostonoja runs behind the hut (boil the water before consumption).
• In the yard there is a woodshed, a cooking shelter and a dry toilet (bring your own toilet paper).
• No waste management. Take your own waste out of the area.
