Description

Huhtala savusauna is the traditional smoke-sauna building at Huhtala Croft, a protected heritage farmstead in Isojärvi National Park in Kuhmoinen, Keski-Suomi. Metsähallitus presents the croft on Luontoon.fi as part of the same historical cluster as the Heretty and Lortikka logging camps, with locked main buildings and an open courtyard for visitors learning about 1700s–1800s farm life. The English article names the smoke sauna among the surviving outbuildings and notes sheep grazing and scythe-maintained meadows as part of ongoing care. The sauna sits on the yard’s lower slope in its original place together with the log storage buildings. This listing is about the heritage building; it is not described as a bookable public bathing shift, and you should treat it as a museum-type stop inside the national park rather than a serviced rental sauna. Practical access is easiest from Huhtala pysäköintialue: a walking blog on Retkipaikka describes signage from the Länkipohja–Kylämä road, a parking area with an information board, and roughly three hundred metres on foot to the croft, with the option to continue by forest road toward Kaatvuori pysäköintialue. The same source reports that the main house and syytinkitupa stay locked while some smaller outbuildings, including the smoke sauna, were open for looking inside on the author’s visit. Our map also lists Huhtala käymälä and a dry toilet at the parking area a short distance from the yard. The foot and MTB networks through the park include Lortikka-Huhtala polku, Isojärvi National Park trails, Majavapolku, Isojärvi MTB, and Logger's Trail, so many visitors combine the croft with longer loops. Metsähallitus news release notes a recent renewal of wooden-shingle roofs on the sauna, three storage buildings, and a barn at Huhtala using supplementary funding, with specialist shingle work by a heritage contractor. For national park rules, fees, and any seasonal notices before you travel, start from Luontoon.fi Isojärvi pages. The Municipality of Kuhmoinen hosts general municipal information for the area.

Getting there

Use Huhtala pysäköintialue on the road toward Kylämä; Retkipaikka describes the signed walk of about three hundred metres to Huhtala Croft. You can also approach from Kaatvuori pysäköintialue along the connecting forest road. For official park arrival and road updates, see Luontoon.fi Isojärvi pages.

Good to know

Heritage fabric and roofs have received conservation work; see Metsähallitus news release. Respect locked rooms, leave no trace, and follow Isojärvi National Park instructions on Luontoon.fi Isojärvi pages.

Price info

No separate admission fee for the heritage yard is stated on Luontoon.fi; national park parking or other charges may still apply, so confirm on Luontoon.fi Isojärvi pages.
