Karhukumpu lean-to

The Karhukumpu Lean-to is in the Arctic Circle Hiking Area around 20 km north-east of Rovaniemi. The log-built lean-to is near the duckboards on the hill Karhukumpu with a view over the river. There are benches around the campfire site and a woodshed and outhouse nearby. An accessible trail leads to Könkäänsaari where, after a bridge, the trail continues to Karhukumpu. The lean-to is 1 km from the parking area. In the winter, you can access the lean-to on foot, ski or snowshoe.
