I managed on the path with tyres ment for asphalt. Partly path has big stones and roots of the trees on the way but mostly route is enjoyable with bicycle. By The Lake of Bisa there are wooden bences built right near the water, where you can eat your picnic or just enjoy the view. Also next to the lake is a rocky hill. On the top of the hill is cooking shelter, where you clime up along built stairs. The view is beautifull, over the lake area.

Firewood is provided at the fire pits in the national park. This place is very popular because it is very easily accessible for residents of Helsinki and Espoo. Camping is permitted in the national park near these fire pits. This is why there are often hikers who like to spend the night here.

For me, this is a very nice place, as it is partly located on an island in the middle of a beautiful lake. The facilities at Holma-Saarijärvi campsite include a fire pit, a shed next to the bridge that leads to the island, and an outdoor toilet. Firewood is available and is probably provided by the National Park Authority. There is another campsite on the west bank of the lake that also has a fire pit and an outdoor toilet. Leave the place better than you found it :-) https://www.nationalparks.fi/hikinginfinland/visitorguidelines
