ラウトヤルヴィのおすすめライド

ニスカピエティラ・ロード（ニスカピエティランティエ）は、南カレリアにある歴史的な「博物館道路」で、イマトラ、ルオコラハティ、ラウトヤルヴィを結ぶサヴォンリンナ～ヴィープリ間の旧ルートの一部です。少なくとも1600年代に遡り、軍用道路や郵便道路として利用されてきました。今日では、田園風景、古い石造りのキロメートル標識、サイクリストやロードトリップ愛好家にとっての文化史的価値のある、静かで風光明媚な地元の道路となっています。

自然の中にある美しく舗装された滑らかな道。

The Imatra Rapids are one of Finland's oldest tourist attractions, dating back to the 1700s. The Imatra Hydroelectric Dam was built in 1929. It a hugely impressive sight, a highlight of any run here.

Perfect, calm picnic spot with benches and small pier, on the left bank of the Vuoksi river. The Vuoksi river in Imatra is a central natural feature and a key part of the city’s identity.

Imatrankoski is one of Finland’s most famous rapids and a highlight of any visit to Imatra. The dam-controlled rapids are usually opened in summer for scheduled shows, drawing crowds to watch the powerful flow of water through the old riverbed. It’s located right in the city centre, with good bike access and plenty of space to watch from the bridge or park area. The surrounding Kruununpuisto Park is Finland’s oldest nature park and offers well-kept paths and historical landmarks. It’s a great place for cyclists to stop, explore on foot, and enjoy both natural force and local history.
