Create an itinerary including Imatra Waterfall
View the power of water at Imatra Waterfall, used for hydroelectricity since 1929. These rapids once were turned on year-round, but now they operate seasonally to harness the water's force. Though war and industrialization have worn away at the city and its attractions, the falls are still an impressive sight. Put Imatra Waterfall and other Imatra attractions into our Imatra trip itinerary planner, and watch your holiday take shape.

    Don't know with what kind of schedule they let the water fall, but without the water it's not so beautiful.

    Went there at fall when the damp gates were closed and the riverbed was empty. Even so, it was an empressive sight. Nearby there are lots of nice parks and walking routes.

    We went to these falls a couple of years ago and were fascinated by way they opened up the flood gates and let the thousands of litres flow down the rocky river bed to the strains of Sibelius...
