Perfect forestlined, sandy and rocky gravel section with a lakeside laavu stop. From Wiki: Huovintie is a historic road in Satakunta and Southwest Finland. Together with Hämeen Härkätie, it is one of the oldest roads in Finland. Huovintie is thought to date back to prehistoric times in the 9th century, when it was used for wilderness and trade expeditions. It originally connected the mouth of the Kokemäenjoki River with the settlements of the Pyhäjärvi region and the upper reaches of the Aurajoki River.

Picturesquely situated prison. Please note that photography is prohibited. There's also a beautiful birdwatching tower on the Kokemäkkijoki River.

Historical museum with a permanent exhibition and changing exhibitions. I visited the exhibition about the photographer John Englund (1870–1929). The exhibition can be seen here until February 25, 2025.

if you just want to get quickly from Ulvila to Kokemäki (or vice versa), I’d recommend riding on the other side of the river instead: no town/village centres to navigate or busy highway to cross, less traffic in general (not that this side is too busy either), plus you even get better views of the river as a bonus

an alternative to the main road (route 2), Toivarintie is about 8 km of okay asphalt road with little traffic (with a medium-security prison en route as a sightseeing bonus), but the Ronkansuontie bit is 4 km of the kind of gravel with loose rocks eveyrwhere all across the road surface for its whole length (if you are at all worried about your tyres, just take the main road instead, it’s not *that* bad)

not much traffic, almost flat, okay asphalt, bike path between Kokemäki and the grain silo monster in Riste (partly running in an old rail alignment); in the east you can continue either on the main road (about 5 km until the first paved side road (Ristikankaantie), shoulder okay to ride on but narrow and a bit uncomfortable with the busy traffic) or via Ronkasuontie/Toivarintie (about 4 km of the gnarliest of gravel plus 8 km of empty asphalt road)
