Notices

  • There is no waste management at Rokua National Park. Do not leave any litter or other traces of your stay. Read more about Hiking Without Littering.
  • Pets are allowed but do not let the pets sleep in the beds.
  • There is also a wilderness hut, a day-use hut and an observation tower right next to the rental hut.  
  • The range of mobile phones is weak in some places.
