Auttiköngäs falls

On the rugged and at places rocky slopes of Auttijoki river grow over 200 years old pine and spruce forests. Along the Auttijoki river and the brooks streaming down the slopes the earth is lusher and leaf trees are more common, especially aspens and great sallows. However, the most impressive sight is the Auttiköngäs falls with its old log floating constructions. There the river falls 16 metres into the steep-edged canyon beneath. You can admire Auttiköngäs and listen to it roar from the surrounding nature trail. There a traveller finds campfire sites, a lean-to shelter, a suspension bridge over the Auttijoki river and an observation tower. The history, geology, vegetation and animals of the area are presented on signposts along the trail. There is a campfire site with lean-to shelters and a re-built log floating cabin near the car parking area. Disabled people have been considered in the constructions around the car parking area. Map
