Sysmä is a lakeside town in Päijänne Tavastia, known for its peaceful countryside, cultural events, and access to Lake Päijänne. The area offers scenic cycling routes through forests, farmland, and small villages, with many quiet gravel roads ideal for trekking or cross bikes. In summer, Sysmä hosts concerts and events, especially during the Sysmän Suvisoitto festival. Cyclists can stop at local cafés, markets, and historical sites like old churches and manor houses. It’s a good base for exploring Päijänne National Park, which is accessible by boat from the nearby harbour.

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.

This parking lot is the perfect starting point for your exploration around Päijänne National Park. The Päijätsalo Circle Trail will take you to the shore. A lookout tower at Päijätsalo offers a breathtaking view. The side trail can be accessed via the Circle Trail.

Located at the scenic water front in a shaded forest, take a break at the wooden benches or spend some more time at the fire pit. There is lots of wood in the nearby hut for you to saw. You will also find a pit toilet and a small jetty.
