アシッカラの湖・トップ16

Nice place by the water

Välkjärvi Beach is perfect for a quiet break during your ride. You’ll find a small sandy shore, changing cabins, and a fireplace for grilling. The water is clear and usually calm, ideal for a refreshing swim.

The bridges over Lake Päijänne in the Pulkkilanharju area offer stunning lake views and are part of a popular cycling and driving route between Lahti and Jyväskylä. The arched Käkisalmi bridge, built in 1940, and the later Karinsalmi suspension bridge replaced old ferry connections and now make the narrow ridges of Pulkkilanharju easy to cross. The area is known for its clear waters and island-dotted views, especially along the Pulkkilanharju nature trail. The route is perfect for cyclists with trekking or cross bikes, though expect occasional traffic and be cautious on the narrow road sections.

little traffic and better scenery too (runs next to the lake for quite a bit), plus all new asphalt (minus the short bike path in the southern end if you feel like using it)

Here you can sleep, rest or grill. Anything you want and you have a nice view too with lakes on both sides.

Swimming area with a diving board, fire pit, SUP rental and a restaurant.

Beautiful hiking trail around the lakes with many firepits, benches and picnic tables along the way. The trail is in very good condition but there are a lot of steep hills.
