ヒルベンサルミ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ9

not too much traffic (but it’s a road with a 100 km/h speed limit with no shoulders and Finnish drivers so pay attention...), gently rolling hills, okay asphalt, nice lakeside views in a few places

not too much traffic, gently rolling hills, asphalt varies from (mostly okay) to a section of brand new, fleeting lakeside views in many places plus more so in the north around Hirvensalmi village (a typical roadside path (old asphalt and blind intersections) runs through the village itself, use it or don’t)

cycling not allowed on the highway itself, the service road consists of segments of asphalt (mostly former highway) and smooth gravel, continues a bit further towards Mikkeli (as well as in the other direction), but between the next junction and Otava you either have to take a longer detour than from here via Hirvensalmi or brave the traffic on the highway for a while (really I’d recommend picking a different route unless you absolutely have to ride this way)

cycling not allowed on the highway itself, the service road consists of paved old highway leftovers at both ends and a section of fairly rough gravel in the middle, continues at both ends following the highway a bit further, but eventually you’ll have to take some detours (really I’d recommend picking a different route unless you absolutely have to ride this way)

new asphalt almost throughout, some short sections with older but still okay asphalt (might have something to do with the weird course of the municipal/provincial boundary here: Pertunmaa has new asphalt, Hartola does not...), gently rolling and winding, not too much traffic
