     History
    In 1890 Oy W. Gutzeit & Co built a log conveyor system on the isthmus between the water systems of Kymi and Saimaa. Nowadays the transformer building (built in 1891) and the later pumping station (built in 1935) do still exist. Remains of the log floating channels are also noticeable.

     Future Plans
    There is a road construction (highway 13) routed through the area. The caves and the pumping station are protected however, which means the road must be bridged over or something.
