Lonely Planet review for Tar-Boat Canal
At the Ämmäkoski waterfall, near the castle ruins, is a Tar-Boat Canal (Ämmäkoski waterfall), a channel built in 1846 to enable the boats laden with tar barrels to pass the rapids. There's a small museum in the old lock-keeper's cottage, and tar boat shows on Saturdays in July.
