Approximately 10 km away from Suomussalmi Center towards Puolanka is located Varisköngäs, a 20 meter high waterfall. Especially during the spring and autumn floods, this waterfall is a handsome site worth visiting.

The waterfall can be reached by car or by the Varisjärvi hiking trail.
Driving instructions: drive 6,5 km from the Suomussalmi Center along road 892 towards Puolanka. Turn left from the junction that says "AITTOKOSKI" and drive about 1 km until you see another sign "VARISKÖNGÄS" next to the road. From there a 1 km long hiking trail leads to the waterfall.
