Eskelinkosken laavu
Säviän laavu
A really nice Laavu. It is right on the
Iso-Haapaniemen tulipaikka
Pajuskylän kota
An extremely large (tall) Kota on the Urkin poloku hiking trail. There is woodshed, outdoor toilet and an outdoor grill. There is a lot of space here for a large group to come and spend time. The hut has a lot of space inside for a group as well. The hut is more on the "rugged side." Dirt floor, no lights.
Arkkuvuoren laavu
A really nice area for a Laavu on the Urkin poloku (UP) hiking trail. It is next to a beautiful small pond / bog. The Laavu is in good condition, there is a lot of firewood and just overall peaceful location.
Kirkkoniemen laavu
Oravimäen laavu
Pururadan laavu
Murtosaaren laavu
Kummelisaaren laavu
Kesälahden laavu
Jylhänniemen laavu
A double laavu on the edge of Lake Pielavesi. Probably there will be no one there if you go, maybe only locals. It is a little far out, off the main roads. The road to the Laavu can be a bit bumpy / pot holes.
Tornin laavu
Kakkomäen kota
