Path next to the road

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.

Enjoy pure nature on this little stretch of sandy beach and the nice view of the lake with its reed islands.

The beautifully designed trailhead of the ridge trail creates anticipation. A café and a rest area are next door.

Beautiful path off the road, which is also very easy to drive

Small stall with coffee and snacks

Beautiful but rough, the path closer to the middle of the island is a smoother alternative if you don't have the right footwear.

Little pond on the island, there are some paths going to the shore and the water looks clear but I'd say you better swim in the larger lake.
