Telataipale canal



Website

The Teletaipale canal built by General Suvorov in the late 18th century connects Lepistönvesi in the west with Siikavesi in the east. The 200m long canal was built on a till-rich part of an isthmus where there was no need for extensive rock quarrying despite the area being rather rocky. At the northeast end of the channel there is a wharf suitable even for large vessels, and the canal is also easily accessible by car, as it is located along the road 438.
