Vantaankoski, Rapids in Viinikkala, Vantaa, Finland.

The Vantaankoski rapids flow through a natural setting, featuring foam-crested waves and multiple viewing points accessible from a red bridge and wooden stairs.

The Dahlfors file factory, which operated from the early 1800s to the 1960s, stands as an industrial monument next to the rushing waters of Vantaankoski.

The rapids form part of the medieval King's Road, a mail route that connected Bergen in Norway to Vyborg in Russia during Finnish-Swedish rule.

Visitors can reach Vantaankoski using public transport or by car, with parking available near Kuninkaantie 26, and pathways suitable for different mobility levels.

The rapids maintain a constant flow during winter months, with water temperatures remaining below freezing while the surface refuses to form ice.
