The Jongunjoki River route is a beautiful, wilderness paddling route with many fast sections. The vertical drop is 80 m. You can also paddle sections of the route, for example from Teljo bridge to Aittokoski or from Aittokoskei to Viitakoski. The route is filled with fast rapids which can well be navigated but it is goof to check them out before you paddle over them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
