Taivalkoski

The Iijoki River defines the setting of Taivalkoski — rapids, bridges and wooded banks give the centre its rhythm and keep the water close to everyday life. In Finland’s northeastern Koillismaa area, this is a broad, sparsely settled municipality of forests, rivers and long winter seasons rather than an urban destination. Taivalkoski is closely associated with Kalle Päätalo, one of Finland’s best-known writers, whose autobiographical Iijoki series drew on the region and brought its rural life to a national readership.
