Imatrankoski Falls

This place was loved by the Russian Empress Catherine II, whose court liked to visit these parts and “look at the threshold”. Since then, a lot of time has passed, and the flow of tourists who want to see the “Finnish Niagara” does not run out. Especially since the places here are more than picturesque.

In the vicinity of Vuoksa, the oldest reserve of Finland - Kruununpuisto - is broken. Around the waterfall exhibited avant-garde monuments, for example, turbine and power lines. Ever since the Vuoksa hydropower plant was built, water from the reservoir has been coming down on schedule. This happens daily at 19:00 and at 15:00 on Sundays in the summer months. The descent of water is a real performance: fireworks and musical performances are arranged here, which can be observed from special observation decks.
