Puoiduusuálui / Kärppätupa Open Wilderness Hut

On the steps of the small cabin, a woman is coming out of the cabin. The ladder leans against the eaves of the roof of the hut and there is plenty of hay and milk thistle growing in the yard. The sun is shining and there is another building behind the hut.
