Rent a traditional kota, a Finnish forest hut, for your excursion to lake Matildanjärvi. Visit Natura Viva in Teijo and find out more.
This hut sits on a beautiful lakeside spot at lake Matildanjärvi. As a new feature we have renovated the kota interior so, that it can now accommodate six persons on wide wooden benches, which are also suitable for sleeping – just bring your own tent mattress and a sleeping bag. This transforms the kota into a great home base for your fishing trip or a holiday weekend in the middle of the nicest Finnish nature. The rental kota, which stands on the northern lakeshore, makes for a perfect hub for your stay in Teijo.
There's a lot to be explored at lake Matildanjärvi, the most beautiful forest lake in Teijo National Park. You can hike around the lake along a hiking trail, or rent a kayak, a sup board or a rowing boat from Teijo Nature Center and head on the lake for a paddling excursion. Lake Matildanjärvi is also a famous fishing destination, known for its abundance of impleneted rainbow trout.
Location
The kota is located in Teijo National Park, on the Northern Matildanjärvi lakeshore. The nearest parking area is Mikkossuo, 700 meters from the kota. Teijo Nature Center, Natura Viva's hub in Teijo with a cafeteria and a rental shop, is located 2,3 kilometres from the kota along the Matildanjärven kierros hiking trail.
One nice way to approach the kota is to rent a kayak, a sup board or a rowing boat from Teijo Nature Center and paddle across the lake towards the kota. This makes for a perfect outdoor excursion. After the paddling you can enjoy snacks and coffee in the warmth of the kota.
