北オストロボスニアの滝・トップ4

A detour from the main Könkään keino Trail loop is worth it to enjoy the spectacle of the Kiutaköngäs Rapids. The Oulankajoki River is a fine companion for any run in this superb part of the Oulanka National Park.

There's a short 1 km hike from Oulanka Visitor Cente to Kiutaköngäs whitewaters with a really nice and spacious outdoor fireplace area.

Käylänkoski is a picturesque rapid located in Kuusamo, Finland, along the Kitkajoki River. Easily accessible via Sallantie Road (Route 950), visitors can enjoy the serene beauty of the flowing waters from nearby bridges and winding paths. The area is also known for hosting traditional timber rafting competitions, known as Tukkilaiskisat, offering a glimpse into Finland's rich cultural heritage. For fishing enthusiasts, Käylänkoski provides accessible spots, including casting platforms suitable for anglers with mobility challenges.

It is definitely worth making the little detour to the waterfall. The beautifully situated Jyräva waterfall finds its way through the canyon here.

The rapids, an impressive natural spectacle.

always a worthwhile photo subject

The river Kitkajoki rushes impressively down a small cascade as Jyrävä Falls. A short side trail gets you closer to the water.

Beautiful view of the rapids from the two bridges leading accross, plus there's a café on the island.
