Finland Kantapäävaara lean-to shelter, Pyhä-Luosto National Park
Lean-to shelters (Laavu) are perfect places to take a break, enjoy the peaceful surroundings and relax in the middle of nature. Many have fireplaces where you can make a campfire, grill sausages or simply warm up while enjoying the views. Bring some snacks, make a coffee and take your time soaking up the beautiful scenery of Luosto.
Photography Tips
Use the sunset conditions for some nice light and shadow on the wood at the building. This gives the shelter a nice touch.
