Ahvenkoski Waterfalls
Водопады Ахвенкоски
A cluster of small stepped waterfalls on the Tohmajoki River, a filming location for the 1972 film 'The Dawns Here Are Quiet', often visited together with Ruskeala's marble canyon.
The Ahvenkoski Waterfalls lie about 4 km south of Ruskeala Mountain Park. The Tohmajoki River splits into several rapids among granite rocks, with pine forests on both banks. The 1972 film 'The Dawns Here Are Quiet' was shot here. The site has wooden walkways, viewing platforms and coffee stalls. Some areas charge admission, and you can feed the local small animals on the riverbank. It is about 30 minutes' drive from Sortavala, so you can stop here by car or on an organised tour of Ruskeala.
