Very beautiful and easy nature destination to visit
There is a lovely nature route that winds through the forests around the waterfall, taking visitors past swamps and blueberry shrubs, the winding river that flows and then opens into rapids by a quaint barbecue area overlooking the waterfall. The Hepoköngäs area has been made as accessible as possible for visitors: the path from the carpark is wide enough for two strollers or wheelchairs to pass each other. The path is smooth gravel, and at some points there are wooden slides that can be used to for access. There are some rises and falls on the path if you want to see the falls also from the bottom.There are accessible toilets by the falls themselves on top of the falls.
