Korkeakoski, Waterfall in Maaninka, Finland

The Korkeakoski waterfall drops 36 meters through a rocky canyon, making it the highest uniform waterfall in Finland.

The site contained a watermill during the 1700s, which according to local accounts was carried away by spring floods in the late 1800s.

The waterfall gained national recognition through Zacharias Topelius's illustrations in his 1845-1852 publication Finland framstäldt i teckningar.

Visitors can reach observation platforms via maintained paths and wooden stairs with 192 steps, offering views from both the top and bottom of the falls.

The water flows from the Löytynpuro River through a canyon that creates its own cool microclimate due to constant water droplets in the air.
