A place to shelter from the weather, for example, while baking

We have removed the lock on the door of the stone barn in the courtyard, so that hikers looking for shelter from the weather can dine under the roof and sheltered by the walls.

The starting point of the experiment is a practice familiar to deserters: everyone cleans up after themselves and leaves the place for the next guests, preferably in even neater condition than before.

We hope the barn stays clean.

If you notice, for example, that the furniture is broken, please let us know on 050 563 3480 or myynti@kontiolahtibiathlon.com
