Taipalsaari Scenic Cycling Route – cycling in the Finnish Lakeland

04:32

69.0km

420m

Cycling

Miles of paved cycle paths meander from island to island and from one fantastic view to the next. This 70-kilometer round trip takes you from Lappeenranta via the church island of Kirkkosaari and then in an arc through the archipelago back to the starting point.

Surrounded by forests that change color depending on the season, you cycle in a relaxed manner on the slightly hilly paths. In between, you can always take a break on idyllic shores and enjoy nature.

Vehkataipaleentie Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Winding and gently rolling drive through stunning nature (as seen in the “Bordertown” opening credits). You can enjoy nice views especially from the bridge in the southern end. Moderate traffic, okay asphalt, okay bike path for about two kilometers (including across the bridge) in the southern end.
