Rest here at the Tulentekopaikka shelter on Ärjänsaari, an island of golden dunes and wild pine forests in the middle of Oulujärvi. This sheltered campfire spot is the perfect place to pause after hiking the island’s scenic trails. Feel the fresh lake breeze as you warm yourself by the fire, or enjoy a picnic with panoramic views of the shoreline. With the sound of waves in the background, it’s an ideal spot to soak in the wild beauty of Ärjänsaari.

The Kalamaja wilderness shelter on Ärjänsaari offers a peaceful retreat while listening to the waves of Oulujärvi lapping against the shore as you rest.

The island is located in the largest finish inland water area. It is quite windy.

Ärjänsaari in Oulujärvi is a 270-hectare island with a very interesting mix of wild natural formations, such as sand dunes and steep slopes, and, on the other hand, a well-maintained forest in the island's interior. Owned by the paper manufacturer Kajaani-Yhtiö since the 1920s, the island was not open to the public for a long time, but was used as a holiday resort for employees and their families. When the company was acquired by the UPM Kymmene corporation, the new owner wanted to cut down a large portion of the older pine trees. However, protests in the region led to the State Forestry Administration purchasing the island in 2017 to turn it into a nature reserve. Those without their own boat on Lake Oulujärvi can travel there from Kajaani on the steamship Kouta or by boat taxi from the Luonnollisesti Oulujärvi company, which offers a variety of recreational activities around the lake. Near the boat dock, there is a small café, a charging station for electronic devices, and toilet blocks in the summer. The old cottages are gradually being renovated, and there are designated fire pits and camping areas. https://www.nationalparks.fi/arjansaari/directionsandmaps Steamship Kouta https://oulujarviriteilyt.fi/ https://luonnollisesti.fi/
