Oittaa was a prosperous estate in the early 1500s, with its owner around 1510 being Mårten Persson. The estate served as a cavalry farm from the 1600s until the early 1800s. Owners of Oittaa in the 19th and 20th centuries included tobacco merchant Constantin von Fieandt (1868–1886), Baron Rabbe Gustaf Otto Wrede (1895–1902), Colonel Georg Didrik von Essen (1902–1908), veterinarian Magnus Leopold Kjöllerfelt (1908–1914), and bank manager Anders Ismael Wiksten (1914–1936). In 1939, the estate was mentioned for the first time as a manor, and it had 440 hectares of land, 100 of which were cultivated. The manor was transferred from the Wiksten estate to the ownership of the Espoo Township (now the City of Espoo) in 1963.

one of the most popular cycling routes in the region, hilly, now with bike path all the way, southern end (oldest) could maybe use some new asphalt and northern end has a short section that is barely wide enough for bidirectional traffic but otherwise just fine to ride on the path with a road bike as well (save for big/fast groups)

okay bike path next to the ring road, quite hilly

pretty good path with no cross traffic and gently rolling hills, asphalt okay with some cracks and and strangely many patches

nice quiet stretch of tree-lined old road (closed for through motor traffic) with good asphalt and a little climb for your way between Espoon keskus and Espoonkartano

pretty quiet, slightly rollling, okayish asphalt (now quite bad especially in Röylä though), lots of horses (mostly in corrals but sometimes on the road as well) don’t bother with the bike path towards the southern end, so short it’s not worth the trouble plus one end is a school parking lot so clearly primarily meant just for schoolchildren (and horses)

Fun little side road off of the freeway, most of it is freshly paved (April 2022)

Lovely bike-friendly cafe. Ideal for a break if you're riding from Helsinki to Nuuksio
