Vuoks nature walk

The length of the run is about 7 kilometers and there are 32 check points on the route. The nature run goes south from Mansikkala to Imatrankoski, crosses Vuoksi and returns along the east coast back to the start guide board. The departure guide board is located under the Mansikkala bridge (Valtatie 6) next to the bird board on the west bank of Vuoksi.

The nature trail's guidebook tells about the history and culture of Vuoksi river, the human impact on nature and the current state of nature. The birds of Vuoksi, the plant species characteristic of the area, especially the trees and bushes of the park forest and the aquatic nature of the wetlands, become familiar on the rides.

The nature run is mainly on an easy route for light traffic, in some places on paths and in a flat forest. People with reduced mobility cannot take the marked route to sections 4-10 or to sections 17-21. From checkpoint 4, you can go directly to checkpoint 11 to continue the run, also from checkpoint 17 you can take the light traffic route past Imatrankoski church directly to checkpoint 22. From checkpoint 22, people with reduced mobility can access checkpoints 21, 20 and 19.
