Aatsa Open Wilderness Hut

A modest open wilderness hut is available year-round. A demanding wilderness destination. The wilderness hut is situated on the southeast shore of the pond, which is in the western most fork of the River Aatsajoki. This river runs down from Tarju Fell into the River Könkämäeno.

This hut is maintained by volunteers and maintenance work is done only once a year in spring winter.

The open wilderness hut is a shared and free resting and overnight place for independent hikers (not for companies). 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.

• No drinking water point. Water from natural sources must be purified before drinking.
• No waste management. Take your own waste out of the area.
• Bring your own cooking utensils.
