Hiking in Lapland

Tales from trails about sights and campsites

Comfort

Wilderness Hut in Guivi

These Wilderness Huts (or cabins) can be real heaven, if you’ve had back luck with weather. They don’t have any luxuries like running water or electricity, but they give you dry place to sleep and dry your stuff. Old rule used to be, that when people arrived into these huts, there would always be room for them. Once hut starts getting full of people, those who have already stayed in cabin for a night, would either setup tent and move in there or continue their hike on a trail. According to various reports, lot of people seem to ignore this rule :(

    I like this picture better, when you made “panorama picture” of it (to your header).

    Panoramic version benefits from the fact that I can leave unnecessary stuff out of the picture. I guess I could try to make 16:9 version out of the original photograph. Dimensions in current version are 3:2 (or 6×4) and change to 16:9 would allow me to remove some of the unnecessary stuff from bottom of image.
