Taavetti Fortress in Luumäki is a well-preserved 18th-century bastion fortress, originally built to defend Russian territory near the Swedish border. Its strategic location at a road junction made it an important military site, and today it offers a mix of history and recreation. Cyclists can explore the area freely via marked routes or follow a frisbee golf course that winds through the fortress grounds. In summer, it's worth timing your visit with events like Vallijamit or the local village market. The terrain is mostly flat and grassy.
