Ruskeala waterfalls, Waterfalls in Karelia, Russia.

The Ruskeala waterfalls cascade down multiple levels through granite rocks on the Tohmajoki River, forming a series of white water streams.

The waterfall system previously powered a Finnish hydroelectric station during the early 20th century, with remnants of the structure still visible today.

The waterfalls gained national recognition as a filming location for the 1972 Russian war drama 'The Dawns Here Are Quiet'.

The waterfalls remain accessible throughout the year, with designated viewing platforms and parking facilities located 4.5 kilometers from Ruskeala Mountain Park.

The waters of Tohmajoki River display a distinctive brown color due to high iron content and organic compounds from surrounding peat bogs.

Location: Karelia

Part of: Tohmajoki
