In the observation hide you can comfortably enjoy the peace of nature while observing Finland’s large predators. You will be greeted by the beautiful view of pond Uuronlampi, with Vankonvaara-hill’s old spruce forest rising in the background.
In addition to the wolverines and bears, you have the opportunity to observe waterfowl feeding on the pond during the summer. Species to observe in winter are wolverine, golden eagle, white tailed eagle, hawks and the occasional visiting wolf. Lynx and foxes are seen more rarely.
The observation hide consists of two apartments that can accommodate a total of about 20 people. One of the two apartments has a wheelchair access, so this experience is possible also for people with reduced mobility. Both of the observation hides have binoculars, bunk beds with bed sheets and pillows, dry toilets and gas heaters in winter.
