The Imatra Rapids are one of Finland's oldest tourist attractions, dating back to the 1700s. The Imatra Hydroelectric Dam was built in 1929. It a hugely impressive sight, a highlight of any run here.

Imatrankoski is one of Finland’s most famous rapids and a highlight of any visit to Imatra. The dam-controlled rapids are usually opened in summer for scheduled shows, drawing crowds to watch the powerful flow of water through the old riverbed. It’s located right in the city centre, with good bike access and plenty of space to watch from the bridge or park area. The surrounding Kruununpuisto Park is Finland’s oldest nature park and offers well-kept paths and historical landmarks. It’s a great place for cyclists to stop, explore on foot, and enjoy both natural force and local history.

Lammassaari Boat Harbour in Imatra is a quiet, scenic harbour area on the shores of Lake Saimaa, ideal for a peaceful break during a cycling trip. It’s located close to the city centre but feels secluded, with views over the lake and small islands. The area has benches, a pier, and green space, making it a good spot for a picnic or short rest. Access is easy via paved roads suitable for trekking and cross bikes. While there are no shops directly at the harbour, services in Imatra are nearby, so it’s easy to stock up before or after your visit.

The Saimaa Canal is a major waterway in southeastern Finland that connects Lake Saimaa, the largest lake in Finland, with the Gulf of Finland near Vyborg in Russia. Stretching approximately 43 kilometres, the canal allows inland vessels to travel between the Saimaa lake system and the Baltic Sea.

A nice bridge with an impressive view of the canal. The cycling roads are separate from the normal roads, making it a safe place to cross the canal without a hassle.

When the first small drop of water falls over the edge of the dam, its foaming journey towards more spacious waters, towards the great lake of Ladoga begins. It first foams in the Imatrankoski Rapids and tries to escape the great water masses that follow. The drop swims under the old lanterns at Koskisilta Bridge. It spins past the idyllic Pavillion. It passes the venerable Valtionhotelli hotel and a rock cliff that in the past held a squeaky ropeway. It sprays some moisture on the guests standing at the viewing terrace and surges towards the centuries old rock engravings, the royal graffiti. And this is how the water masses accumulate. They fill the rugged channel; they spin, agitate, thunder. Visitor to Imatrankoski: If you have never heard the thunder of the rapids, experienced its magnificent force, now is the time. For a moment, you feel you are held tightly in the violent embrace of nature. For a moment, you feel you are one with history, with the ancient river bed. That experience is just as large as the smallest drop of the foaming rapids. The Rapids shows in 2024: June 26 - August 31 from Wednesday to Sunday at 6 PM.
