Ankkapurha, Rapids near Anjala village in Kouvola, Finland.
The Ankkapurha rapids flow through a natural corridor, creating water patterns that shape the landscape along the riverside in eastern Finland.
The rapids played an essential role in powering the local paper and cardboard factories that established the industrial foundation of Kouvola in the early 1900s.
The Ankkapurha Culture Foundation maintains the area while supporting youth programs and preserving local traditions through educational activities at the national youth center.
Located 90 minutes east of Helsinki by car, visitors can access Ankkapurha through the nearby Inkeroinen railway station or the local bus stop in Anjala.
The rapids form part of a complete educational environment where young people participate in nature activities while learning about industrial heritage and environmental conservation.
