Pitkäkosken luonnonsuojelualue is a small but charming nature reserve near Loimaa, centred around the Loimijoki river and its rapids. The area features mixed forest, riverside trails, and picnic spots, making it a peaceful detour for cyclists seeking a nature break. While you can ride close to the reserve on gravel and asphalt roads, exploring the site itself requires leaving your bike and walking short forest paths—sturdy shoes recommended. It’s best for a quiet pause rather than a full-day visit, and there are no services on-site, so pack water and snacks.
