About Kajaaninjoki
Kajaaninjoki is a river. Location: Kainuu, Finland.
Kajaaninjoki (Swedish: Kajana älv) is a river in the region of Kainuu, Finland. The river runs from Lake Nuasjärvi to Lake Oulujärvi through the town of Kajaani. From there the waters flow through the Oulujoki river into the Gulf of Bothnia. The river drains a chain of lakes that originates in the municipalities of Kuhmo and Sotkamo in Kainuu (Finnish: Sotkamon reitti). Kajaani Castle, a ruined 17th-century greystone fortress is located on an islet in the Kajaaninjoki, between the Ämmäkoski and Koivukoski rapids.
