Itäinen Heinävesi

The rapids’ torrents and culture.


A diverse vil­lage envi­ron­ment sur­round­ed by rapids lies just a few kilo­me­ters from the cen­ter of Heinävesi vil­lage, along the Joen­suu road, offer­ing a range of ser­vices. By the Kert­ma rapids, there is active and pop­u­lar  Ker­mankos­ki dance pavil­ion and sum­mer the­atre , Fish­er­men con­sid­er Ker­mankos­ki to be an excel­lent fish­ing spot.  Ker­mankei­das pro­vides accom­mo­da­tion and har­bor ser­vices for boaters, and for those in need of a tran­quil lodg­ing, Majat­a­lo Kotipuro offers com­fort­able nights’ sleep.  For hik­ers, Ker­ma and its sur­round­ings offer inter­est­ing vil­lage roads and trails to walk and cycle on. Explore, for exam­ple, the sur­round­ings of Vihovuon­tee Canal and the nature path in the beau­ti­ful rapids envi­ron­ment.


You can trav­el to Vihtari not only by car but also by train. Spend your time enjoy­ing a “sheep hol­i­day” with Pirteän Päs­si ,
or enjoy the tran­quil­i­ty of nature by wan­der­ing along hik­ing trails.
