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)
