If you're interested in fishing, the Finnish Fishing Museum is located on the second floor of the same building, Päijännetalo. There, you can explore the history of fishing and learn about the development of Finnish lures — especially the story of Rapala

Beautiful view of Lake Ruotsalainen and small private summer cottage on its shore.

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.

Vääksy Canal is one of Finland’s most popular inland waterways, connecting Lake Vesijärvi to Lake Päijänne in the heart of Asikkala. Built in the 1870s, it’s still in use today and attracts both boaters and visitors interested in watching the lock system in action. The canal area is lively in summer, with cafés, local shops, and a marina creating a pleasant atmosphere. Cyclists can enjoy well-maintained paths along the canal, making it an ideal place for a relaxed break. It’s a flat and accessible area, perfect for a short stop without the need for special gear.
