Really good pizza

800m from the car park. This is also where a 4.5 km circular hiking trail begins.

Patrikkala is a small village in the municipality of Rautjärvi, close to the Russian border, offering a peaceful countryside atmosphere ideal for cyclists looking for quiet roads and scenic views. The terrain is gently rolling with a mix of forest and farmland, and the roads are generally in good condition for trekking and cross bikes. It’s a great spot for those interested in rural life and traditional Finnish landscapes. The nearby lakes and forest trails make it a nice area for a relaxed break or nature walk.

The town is home to the unique Parikkala Sculpture Park, featuring over 500 concrete statues, and Siikalahti Wetland, a popular destination for birdwatching. Additionally, the Parikkala Church, built in the early 19th century, adds to the town’s historical charm.

The view over the lake is great.

This harju near Punkaharju is one of the most famous in the country! Rolling hills and lakes on both sides make it a wonderful and scenic road.

The kota seems to be property of the local hunting club, but we spend the night without any troubles.

Behind the sauna (which you can reserve through the local yacht club) there is a rowing boat that you can use.
