Rank : 8.3 (average on 9 votes)

Coordinates : 64.255513,30.379715 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : brown bear, wolverine, wolf, eagles (especially golden eagle). ease of these individuals varies greatly, and know or almost only with the bear.

Recommended equipment : short as 70-200 and as long as a 300. 2.8 possibly because the light can be a great ally or vice versa problem: cloudy weather very easy at this latitude may force you to ISO1600 and beyond if the season is not that close to the solstice with many hours of light.

Best months : from what we understand is open all year. however, on their website you have an estimate of the periods of exposure for the subject. if you want to be sure to see at least the bear, you should plan a few days between mid-April and mid-October. the period is decisive for the amount of light you have, the type of environment (snow / summer / autumn), and the type of people that you can see floating in the season (eg the bear wakes up to roughly April).

How to get there : As the base city take Kuhmo, about 40km. The nearest airports are Kajaani and Kuopio. Or Helsinki. From renting a car can be a normal sedan: the roads in Finland (often unpaved) are usually pretty clean.

Visits : Open every day of the setttimana. The period of entry and exit from the cabin varies from season to season and I will send them. The official price on their site is currently 180euro for small huts, and 145 € for the big ones.

Notes : They are creating the premises to accommodate their customers directly now instead must move structures in the area. Indicative prices that are affordable and they gave us rooms will be ready next year. In our visit to three days in September 2009, we have always seen the brown bear (more examples) in all the cabins. A glimpse of the passage of the eagle (not photographed). They currently have 3 huts. The big one is spacious and "luxury" considering the tip of activity. can accommodate up to 12 photographers (but in this case you only have one hole available for the purpose). There are beds for all or almost and a chemical bath. There is a gas tank to get hot water. From this hut you have the worst environment (surrounding land "plowed" but with trees in the background), but more likely to shoot the wolf is avvvistato almost exclusively here. Another location is near a small lake. Here you will find two huts for 2 people (comfortable), or 3 (narrow). The shed is small and includes a chair and a bed (which also serves as chair of course). there are 4 holes for the objectives, plus 1 at the sides. The location has the advantage of the setting, including the reflection of the bear in the lake. In the afternoon you have the light for it, I'm not sure in the morning. Last location is in the forest. Same number and arrangement of the huts of the lake. The setting is of course just as good, especially in the afternoon are backlit, which if there is light and bear to interesting possibilities! In the huts you can lay your head with the screw without bringing the tripod. We visited this place (which is basically new though already much frequented by animals) only in September. He entered the hut on the 14 and we went out on 20. Obviously you can not get out of the hut ahead of time. What's Nearby there are of course many other animals. In particular, we have seen grouse in flight (they mentioned that there are other shelters in the area to photograph the arena in April / May), while the search was in vain the elk one morning (hunting was already open). As a final note in the first half of September also sees many fungi (including mushrooms) available. They are larger and less tasty than ours.
