Imatra Falls

The waterfall in Imatra is considered the main attraction of the city of Imatra. When to see this waterfall came the great Empress Catherine II. Even at that time, the Empress ordered to build a hotel center on the banks of the Vuoksa River, just in the place where the river flows into the canyon, forming a waterfall. But in the late twenties, the Finns decided that the waterfall could benefit not only as a landmark, but also as a source of energy components. Therefore, a hydroelectric power station was built on the waterfall. But this did not worsen tourism, but instead attracted more tourists. Nowadays at the celebration of all holidays you can see the most beautiful fireworks. Also in the evening, the waterfall illuminates many colorful lights, which makes it a stunning place.

It is worth noting that the waterfall in Imatra is very popular in Finland, many tourists with interest visit this wonderful waterfall!
