Pitkäkoski, Rapids in Vantaa and Helsinki, Finland.
The Pitkäkoski rapids stretch for 1100 meters along the Vantaa River, featuring a vertical drop of 5 meters through forest-lined banks.
The Pitkäkoski nature reserve received its protected status in 1984 to safeguard the extensive beach grove ecosystem and water system.
The rapids form an integral connection between Vantaa and Helsinki municipalities, with nature trails encouraging outdoor recreation for local residents.
Visitors can access the rapids via Jokitie road in Vantaa, with a picnic area and viewing platform available along the marked hiking paths.
During winter months, white-throated dippers migrate from northern regions to these rapids, while endangered thick-shelled river mussels inhabit the riverbed.
