   Churches & Cathedrals

5. 3.5 Kyminlinna Fortress (8 reviews)
   - Really well kept
   Spent < 1 hour Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks
   
   
   I was so impressed with the way the grounds around the fort are maintained. They are absolutely pristine. Once more, I didn't go in and simply looked around from outside. I think I had forgotten how huge this whole area in. I could see a couple of parts that had been recently renovated - not all has yet been finished though. This makes a great hike around the walls. I do recommend having a look if in Kotka for more than a day or two. If with a car, it's easy, otherwise a local bus drops passengers off just nearby. See more..

    Korian sillat (Koria Bridges) is the name for two bridges over the River Kymi (Kymijoki). These bridges are important historical landmarks. The older bridge was built in 1870 and it is the oldest truss bridge in Finland. Besides, it is the only Finnish bridge made of cinder pig, e.g. iron made from a mixture of mill cinder with ore or crude metal. The newer bridge was built in 1925. It is one of the first Finnish bridges made of reinforced concrete (ferroconcrete). These bridges and the place are quite beautiful. There are two parking places next to these bridges. The address of the bigger parking place is Läntinen Ratatie 286 and the smaller one is situated at the beginning of Tammirannantie. There is a nice sitting place by the river. See more..
