하르톨라 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

Hiekko is an unofficial but popular swimming spot located between Sysmä and Hartola, right by the roadside near the turnoff to Liikola. It has a shallow, sandy beach that’s ideal for families with small children, offering safe and easy water access. Although not a maintained public beach, many cyclists and locals stop here for a quick swim during summer rides. There are no services, so visitors should take all rubbish with them and respect the natural setting. The beach is directly accessible from the road, making it a convenient stop for a short break.

From this bridge, part of the Euro Velo 11 Route, we can admire beautiful views of Päijänne lake and Samaansalmi lake on the both side of the road.

Miekankoski Crossing is a notable location in Finland, where the Miekankoski rapids flow through the Miekankoski strait in Lake Saimaa. It's a popular spot for enjoying the natural beauty of the fast-moving waters and scenic views.
