Kerojärvi Open Wilderness Hut

Hut is in the Northern area of the Oulanka National Park on the lake Kerojärvi and in the middle of the Keroharjun kuiskaus hiking trail. Hut is built in 1950 century.

A modest open wilderness hut is available year-round. The open wilderness hut also has a sauna. In winter, the water must be drained from the stove once it has cooled down, otherwise the water tank will freeze in the cold. Heating the stove can be challenging in freezing temperatures, and the wood shed empties quickly, so consider whether heating the sauna is necessary.

The open wilderness hut is a shared and free resting and overnight place for independent hikers. 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.
