Been here?
A busy hiking car park and trailhead for the Tiilikan kierto circular trail, with a dry toilet, fireplace and boat launching site. It is often full during the day because of walkers, but spaces open up later and overnight stays can be peaceful. Trucks use the nearby road during the day, and the southern approach is fairly narrow. The gravel access road is passable even with an integral motorhome.

Parking near the road, but it was still really peaceful to spend the night. During the day several trucks drive on the road, and the road from the south is fairly narrow.Translating
Nice parking area, about 20 spaces. It is used a lot by hikers, so ordinary cars are also parked there. Hikers leave in the late afternoon/evening. Then more spaces become available. Staying overnight is nice to combine with hiking.Translating
Excellent hike, the road is unpaved but even with a motorhome there were no problems! Respect the place.Translating
Slept well and hiked the 19 km loop the next morning. Uniquely beautiful! You should park at the back because of dust from the passing gravel road. Quiet at night. During the day the parking area is very full, so park space-efficiently!Translating
Small parking area, but with patience you can find a space for our motorhome. The hike is very nice and there is a sauna halfway through. So bring your swimsuits!! I would have liked to know that so I could prepare my bag. We returned late and slept on site to enjoy the barbecue. Very quiet.Translating
Parking at the entrance to the national park, starting point for several hikes, barbecue area available (there was no wood when we were there), picnic table and all the information about the park available 50 m from the parking area. Dry toilets. Accessible in winter.Translating
