History tells us that the time of Russian supremacy, valuable church bells were dropped to the bottom of Jämsäjoki at the Kellokallio. The church bells were supposed to be kept safe from enemies and raised from the river when peace was achieved. When the peace was achieved, the church bells no longer rose from the bottom of the river, but remained there permanently as the river’s own treasure. Decorative painter Emil Marelius has immortalized the landscapes of Kellokallio in his paintings, which decorate the walls of many Jämsä homes even today.
