The park ranger's hut

Old Park Ranger Cabin

There is an old park ranger cabin by the road leading to Petkeljärvi National Park. Basic repairs have been carried out on the cabin and it has been furnished in the style it would have been in the 1960s. The cabin has displays on the National Park's history. Nowadays, those staying in the park can rent a park ranger cabin: petkeljarvicenter(at)gmail.com
