If you're heading to places like Reppuniemi Open-Air Museum in Pöytyä, Turuntie offers direct access, but it's best to wear high-visibility clothing and stay alert, particularly on sections without a separate cycle lane.

Reppuniemi Open-Air Museum in Pöytyä presents a collection of 13 historic buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries, including a smoke sauna, windmill, blacksmith’s workshop, and soldier’s croft.

The location is easily reached by trekking or cross bike via Turuntie, and the natural surroundings make for a pleasant cycling stop.

This attraction is suitable for all ages and provides a well-preserved glimpse into past everyday life. A trekking or cross bike is ideal for exploring the quiet surrounding countryside.
