Things to see and do Imatra

Designed in 1842 by order of tsar Nicholas I, the park offers a beautiful view over the rapids and Rantasipi Valtionhotelli. Very pleasant walk.

Imatra was famous for the wild beauty of the Imatrankoski Falls, the "Finnish Niagara", once the largest in Europe. This grandiose scenery was the reason for the construction of the Imatran Valtionhotelli Hotel, now restored. In 1928, the rapids were tamed to supply the industrial installations. The sluice gates are now open in the summer evenings, and for 20 minutes the falls return to their former foaming impetuosity. Ideal to observe from Crown Park, which offers a beautiful panorama.
