Discover more about Komulanköngäs Waterfall

Komulanköngäs Waterfall, a hidden gem in the Hyrynsalmi region of Finland, offers a captivating escape into nature. This segmented waterfall, a rarity in Finland, is formed by the Syväjoki River as it branches into two streams, plunging down a steep cliff. The waterfall's total height is approximately 6 meters, though some sources claim up to 12 meters. The northern stream flows alongside an old Norse mill, dating back to 1888, which now serves as a museum piece while remaining functional. The southern stream flows freely, carrying slightly more water. The area is enveloped in lush greenery, creating a serene and picturesque setting. Visitors can explore well-maintained trails around the waterfall, offering various viewpoints of the cascading waters. A lean-to shelter near the lake provides a resting spot, and the popular UKK Hiking Trail passes nearby. The waterfall is particularly stunning during the spring floods of April and May.
