Notices

There is a maintained campfire site and dry toilet at the wilderness hut.                                                                     

There are two beds that can be converted to fit 4 persons.                                                                                                       

The hut does not have a water supply. Surface water, for example from streams, should be boiled before drinking, as water quality varies between different areas.

Pets are permitted in the hut, but only in case that other visitors agree with it.

Waste Management

There are no waste bins at the hut, so we ask that visitors bring their own litter out of the area. Read more about Hiking Without Littering.
