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. Lighting any campfires is strictly forbidden if the wildfire warning is in effect.
  • 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.
  • Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) have been observed in Lake Rokuanjärvi in several years, and the water is not recommended for use as drinking water, not even when boiled.
  • At Pookivaara, there is a well whose water quality is not monitored. The water is not recommended for drinking but is suitable as boiled washing water.
  • 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.

  • Take your rubbish home, do not burn it.
  • Remember to bring some rubbish bags when you go out.
  • Do not throw food waste out in the forest.
