Defender region

The area is access sensitive!

Nowadays there is a house, right next to the Defender block, so behave. Be very discreet and give the house their privacy. Like everywhere else, do not litter and brush of your tick marks.

RESPECT for the nature and people is the mentality that you need to obey when climbing in Inari. We would like to keep our nature clean and untouched. There is NO ROOM for trash or for any other idiotic actions. Inari is a place of peace and quiet, so BEHAVE when climbing. Discretion is the word, especially when there are houses or people nearby.

Don’t leave any traces behind and If you happen to find trash from the forest, be an adult and bring them to the town for recycling. By following these simple rules, we can continue drinking water straight from the lakes and rivers.
