In Finnish Karelia, the waterfall is called “cats”.
Among the many Ladoga waterfalls, the most famous waterfall is Yukankoski or White Bridges (by the way, from December 15, the waterfall is rumored to be paid), also from the episodes of the film “And the Dawns Are Quiet Here”, we know Ruskeal waterfalls on the Tohmayoki River.
