Kirjavala Channel and The Channel Path
In the middle of the 19th Century Parikkala  area was one of the poorest in Viipuri region. In order to improve their standard of living, started the farmers at that time a huge project where they built a channel through rocks and cliffs just using their wooden spades and iron sticks.

Take the Channel Path and have a glimpse to our ancestor's history and enjoy the fresh Ladoga-Carelian nature. The channel path is 2 kilometres long path alonside channel bank.

There is also a good possibilities to fish in the channel or capture craps. You need a permit for this and we are glad to give you information in this matter.
