The route circling the shores of the Vuoksi River via the Imatrankoski and Mansikkala bridges can also be cycled. The Vuoksi Nature Trail showcases the flora, fauna, culture, and history of the Vuoksi River.
The Vuoksi River is the outflow of Lake Saimaa and the largest river in Finland by discharge. The city of Imatra has grown along the Vuoksi River, supported by the industry that developed there. The Vuoksi Nature Trail circles the river's shoreline paths from Imatrankoski to Mansikkala and back along the other shore. On the ever-flowing Vuoksi, you can observe birdlife year-round. By following the nature trail, you will walk along pedestrian routes by the Vuoksi and can occasionally detour onto shoreline paths. You can also complete the route by staying on the constructed pedestrian paths, making the trail fully accessible. The Vuoksi area also features several culturally and historically significant sites and museums, ensuring there is plenty to see along this trail.The city of Imatra has grown along the Vuoksi River, supported by the industry that developed there.
