Geocache Description:

FIN Talvilöydettävä peruskätkö Merkkisen laavulla Pyhänkierroksen patikointi- ja hiihtoreitin varrella. ENG Winter finding basic cache is located in lean-to of Merkkinen by the Pyhänkierros hiking and cross-country sking route.


FIN Merkkisen kaltio on Kätkätunturin kupeessa sijaitseva lähteikkö, jossa on useampia hetepaikkoja. ENG Merkkisen kaltio is located next to Kätkä the springs, which are more quagmires.

Ulkoilureitin uusiminen on osin vielä työn alla. Reitti on noin kilometrin matkalta ennen laavua aika mutainen ja kostea, mutta sehän tekee ulkoilusta vain haastavamman. Laavua ylläpitää Kittilän kunta, jolta on lupa kätkölle. Laavulla voi tulistella. Kioski on avoinna vain loppu talvesta. Merkkisen laavulle tulee matkaa Levin keskustasta n. 7,5 km Pyhänkierrosta pitkin. ENG Renewal of route is partly still under construction. The route is about one kilometer of the lean-to quite for muddy and wet, but that only makes outdoor activities more challenging :) Lean-to shelter maintained by the municipality of Kittilä, which is authorized to the cache. At lean has a fire place. Kiosk is only open in late winter. Merkkinen of lean is about 7,5 km from the center of Levi outdoor activities along the route Pyhänkierros.
