Entrance to the Aposelemi Gorge. You can leave your car under the highway bridge or park just before the gate. The path then begins clearly at the dried-up riverbed.

Early morning is the best time because you are walking straight into the sun.

Beautiful gorge. You can easily get close to the gorge by bus on the main road. Then walk for about 20 minutes to the end of the riverbed, which is the beginning of the gorge. Then you have to scramble over stones in the riverbed. It goes slowly. It is best to do it with light outdoor shoes.
