Once past the Aallakoski rapids, we find ourselves in a backwater that, true to the proverb, represents the calm just before the storm.
For safety reasons, a rope indicates that we should not continue paddling down the river to avoid approaching the Jyrävä rapid, an impassable rapid classified as class VI, although I do not know if anyone has ever kayaked through this dangerous rapid. Updated: see the section Kayaking Jyrävä.
NOTE: According to the website www.suomenvesiputoukset.fi, which has a list of waterfalls in Finland, rafting at the waterfall is only possible for expert teams, after a thorough personal inspection and taking all necessary precautions.
The waterfall gets its name from the sound it makes, as the roar can be heard from a great distance (roar is "jyrinä" in Finnish). An impressive 9-metre waterfall surrounded by rocky walls that cuts its way through a narrow "channel" in the rocky bed until it reaches a pool. Of all the waterfalls in Finland, it is one of the largest in terms of flow.
A spectacle that I highly recommend visiting, an impressive waterfall that makes your skin tingle and makes you realise that we are nothing in the face of powerful and unbridled nature.
