Tips from locals
Lovely walk from Vallila by the seaside. If you wish, you can continue along Vantaa River. Feels like not being in town.
Vanhankaupunginkoski rapids is where the Vantaa river flows into the sea. There are many trails and paths and also beautiful old buildings, as well as the Museum of Technology and restaurant Koskenranta.
Vanhankaupunginkoski is a significant location not only in cultural history but as well as an environmental haven. The rapids are 200 metres wide over a 6-metre drop in altitude. It is particularly popular among fly and lure fishers. Part of the rapids has a fishway and another part is protected. The rapids lead into the sea via two channels. The island of Kuninkaankartanonsaari is situated between these. Today it is home to the Museum of Technology.
