Kaivolampi wilderrnesshut

The Kaivoslampi hut serves as a rental cabin for travelers in the Korouoma gorge valley.

The courtyard of the mining pond hut includes the hut itself, a campfire site, a log cabin, a dry toilet and, above all, a highly praised lakeside sauna. The whole complex is located on the shore of the mining pond, where it is easy to take a dip or even swim. It is worth noting that the mining pond is a couple of meters deep right from the shore.

In winter, the place also serves as an excellent ice swimming destination. Of course, you have to remember that you should never wade in the winter ice alone, but always have someone to help you at the edge of the ice if necessary 🙂 Liiteri always has a good ice floe and ice shovel for ice swimming.

The cabin itself is equipped with five beds, mattresses, pillows and blankets. Food can be prepared using a stove or gas hob. The cabin also has crockery and cooking utensils.

The Kaivoslampi hut can be approached along the Eruspojan hiking trail that runs through the Korouoma gorge, which makes the hut conveniently located about halfway along the route and therefore serves as a stopover for a light overnight hike. It is possible to reach the hut by car about three hundred meters away along Vohontie, which branches off from the road between Posio and Ranua. When thinking about Vohontie, you must take into account the winter storm season so as not to unnecessarily destroy the road that is in good condition when it softens. In winter, we try to keep the road open all the way to the parking area, but it is always worth asking for confirmation at the time.

The path from Vohontie to the hut is steep, rocky and challenging to walk. You can also go to the hut along our maintenance road. This route also has elevation changes and rocks, but it is a relatively flat route. This is suitable for example as an ATV route for people with disabilities (it is challenging in places but driveable).
