Tentsile tent
The Tentsile Safari Connect tent is the accommodation base, with overnight accommodation for three people. The tent is anchored between three trees and is just over a metre off the ground. There is a dry space under the tent for storing equipment. The outer fabric of the tent provides protection against water. In fine weather, the fabric can be removed and you can admire the scenery under the mosquito net.
The tent has a load capacity of 400kg.
The Tentsile tree tent comes with an insulating sleeping pad, so there is no need for separate pads.
The riverbed of Jyrkänkoski
The location of this tree tent has also been carefully chosen. The tent is located right next to the riverbed, so that the rapids of the Jyrkänkoski can be heard right up to the tent. The tent is located close to the Volokinpolu hiking trail, but the tent is still left alone.
Activities
The nearby terrain is ideal for hiking, cycling, jogging, swimming, mushroom picking and berry picking. The 30 km Volokinpolu hiking trail starts nearby. It is possible to rent a hot tub, kayaks, canoes and SUP-boats from Ruuki dove-house. Jyrkänkoski is a fisherman's paradise and the surrounding areas are suitable for trout fishing.
Drinking water
Drinking water is available from Ruukin Tupa in private drinking containers during the opening hours of Ruukin Tupa.
Washing
The tree tent is located on the edge of natural water, which makes it possible to wash in the lake. However, swimming in natural waters does not allow the use of detergents. The safest place for swimming is in a place instructed by the Ruukin Tupa staff, near the barbecue shelter and the latrine. You can inquire about the possibility of renting a lakeside sauna directly from the Ruukin Tupa.

A composting dry toilet is available for your use, which also allows you to compost leftover food.
