Komulanköngäs is a beautiful, two-branched waterfall, which is rare in Finland. Both falls are easy to admire, from the lake shore and from the top. 

  • Komulanköngäs is a gorgeous and picturesque waterfall and therefore great example of the Kainuu wilderness.
  • The fall is at its best in April and May, during the spring floods.
  • Nearby you will find two different fireplaces with lean-to and dry toilets.
  • On one side next to the waterfalls there is an old partly restored mill.
