Karhula idyllic shelter-hut is the heart of the trail network in the middle of a lush forest, which also has some of Finland's largest spruce trees.

The shelter-hut is the farthest old building of Karhula courtyard. The hut has a fireplace and benches. You can lit a campfire in the fireplace, even if the forest fire warning is in effect. The hut is available all year round. It is also possible to stay overnight, although the shelter-hut is very modest.

The distance along the hiking trails to Karhula is about 0.7 km from Haarusjärvi beach, 2.5 km from Haaruksenportti and 2.0 km from Ruskoranta. In winter, Karhula can be reached with snowshoes.

Note:

There isn't a dry toilet in Karhula.
We recommend staying in your own accommodation, a tent etc., instead of the shelter-hut.
There isn't any drinking water nearby the hut.
Pets are allowed in the hut.
Smoking in the hut is strictly prohibited.
There is no rubbish bins nearby the shelter-hut. The hiker takes care of their waste by carring them off the terrain themself.
