Saarentie and Kotalahdentie are quiet rural roads in the Saari region of South Karelia. They offer a scenic ride with rolling hills and nice views of lakes, perfect for cyclists who enjoy varied terrain. Traffic is light, and the asphalt is generally fine. These roads are well-suited for trekking and cross bikes, especially for those looking to combine gentle climbs with peaceful rural landscapes. There are no services directly on the route, so carry essentials and enjoy the quiet ride.

few cars but more than enough rolling hills and nice lakeside views, okay asphalt but watch out for lengthwise gaps at the joints at the concrete bridge about 5 km from the southern end
