Hello! You are right. The local government office of Padasjoki informed us that a branch of the Finnish 4H federation used to run a summer cafe at Enni Id's cabin, but the place has been closed for two summers.

Yellow fever is required, if you come from an infected area (which Finland is not), and then of course such basic vaccinations as tetanus and measles. Against malaria there is no vaccination, yet. The same information is available in many sources, here one of them: http://www....20.9.2007 08:37Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto
