Hiking structures

Campfire sites
There is a lean-to shelter next to the parking area, and very close by, behind the Pirttikahvila cottage café, there is the Uittopirtti day-use hut. There is also a lean-to shelter by Auttijoki River along the nature trail.
- 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. The prohibition does not apply to the fireplace of the Uittopirtti day-use hut.
- 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.
