Hiking in Lapland

Ansakämppä wilderness cabin

When we are talking about Ansakämppä wilderness cabin, we have to be bit careful, because old and new Ansakämppä are located into different places and there is 1km distance between those spots. Old Ansakämppä burned down in winter 2001, but you can still visit its ruins. New Ansakämppä (simply called Ansakämppä) is located into Turistimutka, which is very nice spot to visit. One curious thing about Turistimutka is that you have cabin on one side and you can see charming fireplace on the other side of the river. From what I’ve understood, that fireplace on other side of river has been created for paddlers and I wouldn’t recommend that you to cross the river, because it has reasonably strong current.
This is probably our last story from Oulankajoki, because as we go forward Karhunkierros (Bear’s Ring) hiking trail will depart from Oulankajoki.
