Kulkurien Kämppä

You are warmly welcome to stay at Kulkurien Kämppä, where Saimaa opens directly behind the window. In this cabin, you can see the sunrises from the best spot and you can admire when Saimaa becomes quiet at night. You will also be able to follow the dizzying flight of birds up close and perhaps see a pair of swans flying near the cabin. (NOTE: The cabin in the picture will be moved to another location in the spring of 2025 and will be replaced by two new similar cabins. Don't be confused by the photos, they will change as soon as I get new photos of the new cabins!)
