Karuskose rental hut
Viljandi County, Soomaa National Park
Make a fire only in a place prepared and marked for it. The need for firewood in our campsites is very high during the summer, therefore firewood may be out. To avoid disappointment, please take firewood or barbecue coals with you when traveling by car. Do not leave a burning fire unattended! When using a charcoal grill, pour the coals on the fireplace, not under the forest. Extinguish the fire properly, when leaving.
This rental hut – former forest keeper’s place – is suitable for an undemanding hiker. In cold weather the sauna stove can be heated. The hut is on the bank of the Raudna River, with a campfire site nearby. It is possible to go walking on Ingatsi study trail.
