Karuskose rental hut

This rental hut – former forest keeper’s place – is suitable for an undemanding hiker. In cold weather the sauna stove can be heated. The hut is on the bank of the Raudna River, with a campfire site nearby.

Karuskose is a former forest keeper's farm on the bank of the Raudna River in Soomaa National Park, right where the river makes a bend. The old keeper's house still stands in a traditional farmyard with an orchard and old garden plants, surrounded by semi-natural meadows that flood in spring. There is no electricity and hardly any phone signal, so evenings are lit by fire and the sauna stove. Guests sleep on the floor and bring their own bedding and drinking water. A landing lets you set off by canoe, and the gentle Ingatsi study trail nearby leads through forest and bog.
