Leppäkoski
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leppäkoski (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈlepːæˌkoski]; lit. 'alder rapids') is a village in Janakkala, Finland. In 2023, there were about 300 inhabitants.[1]
The village has two schools: Leppäkoski School and Haukankallio Special School.[2] The nearest grocery store located in Hausjärvi's Ryttylä is 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) away, while Leppäkoski's own services are limited to a summer kiosk owned by the sports club Woima.[3]
The Puujoki River flows through the village, with its rapids located near the Leppäkoski Manor.[4] Leppäkoski is also located along the Finnish Main Line, which was completed in 1862, but trains have not stopped at the station since 1981.[5]
