Rated as Class II in the international rapid rating system, this rapid gives you a nice challenge for the beginning. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then it is time for the fastest leg of the Wild Route! First there is the Myllykoski rapid (III-IV). The rapid starts with a waterfall, after which the river flows briskly on to the left. Over the next 50 metres the drop is 5 metres, so there will be lots of churning whitewater to pass through! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After Myllykoski we will carry on to one of the biggest rapids to shoot in Finland: Aallokkokoski! This almost 900 metres long Class IV rapid brings you speed and challenges \u2013 following the skipper\u2019s instructions, the paddlers will work as a team to cut through the haystack waves typical for Aallokkokoski.

Many Class I-II rapids, and the gorgeous sceneries of Oulanka National Park are relaxing and calm the mind. Here, the lower part of River Kitkajoki meanders through steep gorges and the rapids are quite long. We will take our time, float on downstream and enjoy the tranquillity of nature. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Vattumutka we will go ashore, leave the raft and hike some 500 metres to the car.
