There is a campfire place within walking distance of Hiidenniemi farm. It was built in 2019 and it is available for anyone who respect and do not rubbish nature.

The logs of the campfire place hut are from a fence built in the 19th century at the farm’s granary, which was demolished due to its poor condition. Farm family wanted to save the best logs for reuse. The campfire place hut was built by a local carpenter respecting the old material.

There is a sign at the crossroads of the road leading to the campfire site and a small parking lot next to it. Campfire place and the hut are built inside the fences of heifers forest pasture. Please make sure the gates are closed when you enter the area. Heifers graze in the area mainly from June to early October. The campfire place is fenced separately. All the visitors can enjoy nature and campfire place in peace.

Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a leash. Observe local forest fire warnings and keep the area clean from rubbish. You will also find a composting toilet in the area.

Welcome to use our campfire place and the hut on your own! Please remember to write your greetings in the guestbook as well.

The campfire place is located in Kutemajärvi (Kangasniemi). Address: Hiidenniementie 534, 51270 Kutemajärvi.
