We stayed 3 nights in pro hides in the forest and on the marshland. It is a nice (about 1,5 km) walk through the forest to the hides. One man hides are excellent for taking low level photos. There were lots of bears with cubs too, it was a great experience to watch them playing and climbing up the trees. Friendly staff and great accomodation with good food.

I visited in 2019, and I can still remember a lot of details including the sound of all the animals, a actual size model of the bear dent, fur from different taiga animals, the migration routes of wolves and bear etc.

Just great scenery to gorge. Very well guided hiking paths, not suitable if you are physically disabled, but paths aren't too difficult. Some stairs and broadwalks are broken and replaced at summer 2020. Easy to find, less than hour drive from Sotkamo adress is Hiidenportintie 86, it takes you to Palolampi parking place. Parking place turns left. End of the road is gravel.
