Rolling hills, lush forests, and shimmering waters. Nature knows how to offer breathtaking and ever-changing landscapes, and that’s exactly what awaits you along the Längelmä Route! The itinerary winds along the shores of Lake Längelmävesi, where you’re surrounded by a tapestry of natural beauty. But this route isn’t just about nature: along the way, welcoming villages invite you to pause, enjoy a local delicacy, and connect with the warm-hearted people who call this region home.

The Längelmä Route is part of the Lake Trails Collection and takes you through the Pirkanmaa region via sustainable travel and meaningful outdoor experiences. I suggest riding the route over two days to fully embrace the unique landscapes and take your time enjoying them. Of course, you can adjust the pace to your needs using the complete itinerary. A great starting point is Orivesi train station, making it easy to reach the route in a sustainable way. For your overnight stay, Kangasala offers a variety of accommodation options.

The Längelmä Full Loop follows mostly quiet secondary roads and cycleways, with about one-third of the route on gravel roads to add a gentle sense of adventure to your journey. Main services are available in both Orivesi and Kangasala, and you’ll also find cafés and small shops in the villages along the way. You can enjoy the colorful summer landscape along this route. If you are planning to ride it in winter, be ready to be immersed in a snowy and white atmosphere.

This route delivers an unforgettable experience in one of Finland’s most picturesque lake districts. Pack your gear, fasten your helmet, and set off on the Längelmä Route.
