Myllykoski Rapids in Oulanka National Park, Kuusamo

  • 30m
Myllykoski rapids and Kitkajoki river, old mill.

Jyrava Rapids

  • 20m
The 9-metre high Jyrävä is a massive waterfall in Kuusamo. It is located in the Oulanka National Park, in the lower reaches of the River Kitkajoki. The river is surrounded by rugged rock walls, and the water squeezes through a narrow "chute" in the bedrock and into a pool below. The fall was named after its sound, for the rumbling can be heard from great distance (rumbling is "jyrinä" in Finnish). Out of all the waterfalls in Finland, Jyrävä has one of the biggest flow rates, and there is plenty of water even after the spring floods.

Aallokkokoski Rapids

  • 20m
