Erä-Eero is located in Eastern part of Finland, in Kontiovaara, Lieksa. We are known worldwide especially for wolverines, which is our main attraction, but you can also get to see and photograph other wildlife in our observation and photography hides. We are open almost all year round, from March to November, so you can come and experience all four seasons with us.

Erä-Eero’s base camp is the Keljänpuro Lodge, which is an old lumberjack cottage from 1950’, renovated later by Eero himself. Getting here is easy by car, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenic route of road Kontiovaarantie with picturesque fen ponds on both sides of the road. Erä-Eero signs will guide you to the Lodge.

You can also get to the town of Lieksa by train or bus, from where we can arrange transportation for you to Keljänpuro Lodge if necessary. The nearest airport can be found in Joensuu.

You can book accommodation and order meals for the duration of your visit. In addition, we have some small items for rent, such as ball heads and sleeping bags. Ask about other available services.

Welcome to observe, listen and photograph Finland’s large carnivores in their natural habitat all year round.
