Bivouacs
There are bivouacs in Kemi both on the mainland near exercise routes and in the lush archipelago of the Gulf of Bothnia.
Bivouacs can be used as a stop-off point during boat, skiing or hiking trips, for example. They are open all year round.
At the bivouacs, you can cook sausages or tikkupulla (buns on a stick), or make coffee over the campfire. Bivouacs can be found along the Pertajärvi fitness trail, at the Ajos fishing harbour, and in Juurakko, Syväleto, Selkäsaari, Satamakangas, Kiikeli and Laitakari.
