Welcome to Lieksa, Finland, to enjoy Karelian hospitality and watch and photograph local wildlife such as wolwerines, bears, wolves and birds.

Reviewed By sarai250 - Helsinki, Finland

We visited Erä Eero with my husband for a night in July. We had heard that this would be the best place in Finland to see wolverines, and we didn´t leave dissapointed. We got a small hide just for two of us close to the most beautiful bond in the middle of the wilderness. We saw several wolverines as well brown bears, ravens, wigeons and other birds. We went to the hide about 3 pm and left 8 am in the morning. Night was really cold, so be prepared. All the hides have beds and eco toilets, ours were tidy and pleasant to use. Eero himself is a great guy, I could have listened his stories forever. He also had a female employee (sorry cant remember her name) who was really friendly and competent also. I would warmly recommend this to anybody interested to see wild animals, even photographer or not. I personally took 4000 photos and videos during our stay, that might tell something. I am sure we will go again in future.
