Rovâdâsjävri / Ravadasjärvi Open Wilderness Hut: The left side of the cabin has been locked indefinitely for 8 people due to a cracked fireproof panel. Urgent attention and repair are required as the damaged fireproof panel poses safety risks.
Sunny spring day, there is still a lot of snow, but the log cabin is already snow-free and the ground next to the cabin is already bare of snow.
