The large main flow runs through several river branches passing through various landscapes. In many places, the deciduous trees on the shore extend far over the river creating a rainforest feel.

Iitti rinki -melontareitti by Teuvo

Melottiin kahdella eläkeläiskaksikolla pääosin sama reitti 13.-15.08. Oikaistiin Hiidensaaren kannaksen yli. Maisemat kohdallaan varsinkin Vuolenkoskella ja Mankalan koskilla. Suosittelen TH.
