Onni on pieni kyläkauppamme Kerkonkosken sydämessä. Kerkon kauppa on pieni, viihtyisä kyläkauppa ja kahvio – kylän olohuone kesät talvet. Kyläkaupasta löydät päivittäisruokaostosten lisäksi lähiruokaa ja lähituotteita sekä Veikkauksen palvelut ja apteekin palvelupiste. Kaupassa on kyläläisten ja matkailijoiden iloksi myös pieni kirjasto. Kaupan ulkoseinästä löytyy defibrilaattori.

The Kerkonkoski tour is a classic long waterway route, which has traditionally been rowed and paddled in church boats in Rautalampi. The route is a demanding circular route with one class II rapid, Konnekoski, along the way.

Along the way, there are cultural and natural attractions such as Konnekoski, Kivisalmi, Noitasen Island, and Murhaluoto, as well as the Kiesimä and Kerkonkoski canals, Säynätsalmi and Nokisenkoski, Tyyrinvirta and the Hankavesi archipelago, as well as the Sahala, Korhola, Karjala, and Ropola manors located on the shores of Äijävesi in Rautalammi.

The canal, the rapids area, and the waterway have been an essential part of the village of Kerkonkoski and the development of its settlement, economy, and entire way of life. It has been the community's main thoroughfare.

Anna WildRose (Pirkko Toiviainen) is a self-taught visual artist and one of our village's sources of pride. Her works mainly consist of collages, assemblages, and installations. The artist uses recycled materials in her works, which are characterized by their abundance and the unprejudiced combination of techniques and materials.

Anna WildRose teaches the techniques she uses in her art workshops. The summer gallery is located at artist Anna WildRose's home in Kerkonkoski and is open by appointment.

There is another canal near Kerkonkoski. The historic Kiesimän Canal was built around the same time as the nearly 100-year-old Kerkonkoski Canal.

The channel has forest instruments and a giant swing, as well as a barbecue hut for snacks.

Located in Kiesimä, Katariina Spring has been providing cool, fresh spring water to local residents and passers-by for over half a century. The spring was renovated in the early 2000s.
