Basic selection of ice cream, soft drinks and coffee. Also some pulla if you ask but they only had frozen ones when I was there.

An excellent café location for gravel rides though the owners don't know it yet.

June 26, 2022,Vanajavesi gravel adventure

A bit longer gravel tour with some sightseeing included. Mainly speedy gravel, one long-ish road section through the farmland and over the lake, and some technical trails near the end.

First café stop is on an island after about 59km.
