Kruununpuisto

The thrill and pomp of the Imatrankoski Rapids. It would be impossible to find rapids more magnificent and wonderful in all of Finland. The sturdy walls of the power plant open their dams once a day in summer, and the sight is breath-taking. Wild nature and harmonious forests come together in unique Kruununpuisto, the oldest nature reserve in Finland. The park’s colourful history goes back to the reign of Tsar Nicholas I of Russia, who established it. Have a cup of coffee at the castle-like Valtionhotelli hotel and glide across the raging rapids along a steel cable. A visit to Kruununpuisto Park is an unforgettable experience.
