It's very strange to find a public toilet on top of a windswept, frozen fell. The temperature was about -25C when we visited.

This toilet is part of the services provided by Metsähallitus (the Finnish forestry service) There used to be a kota (conical wooden shelter) nearby where hikers could stop and fry sausages, but that burnt down in 2011(?). This leaves just one building standing - the dry toilet.

Location:
