Holiday in Savo 2023

ACTIVITIES

VedenjakajaReitistö

Experience breathtaking forests, eskers, and lake areas while pedaling along varied biking routes. The Savo region offers both fast-paced adventures and leisurely rides in nature, for beginners and experienced mountain bikers alike. Atmospheric break areas are the cherry on top of your trip. Biking

Joroinen Several trails in the area: a 3.7 km ride by Kartanogolf and the Kotkatharju outdoor recreation area; a 6.4 km route around Muurinkoski rapids; and a 20.7 km route towards Rauhaniemi. www.visitjoroinen.fi Pieksämäki Several routes for different skill levels along the Vedenjakaja Reitistö. For example, the easy 8.8 km ride at MTB Nikkarila; easy-to-moderate MTB Ukonkan gas, 4.7 km; and technically chal lenging MTB Tuoppu, 6.1 km. For winter biking, we recommend wide tires or a fat bike. www.vedenjakajareitisto.fi

Varkaus The “Pyöräile Taiteeseen” route to outdoor art in Varkaus is 28 km long, but you can take on shorter sections. The 15-km-long Heinämäki route follows the shores from the city center to Vattuvuori and continues to Honkapirtti lodge and then Heinämäki. The route is lit

until Honkapirtti, and it suits mountain bikers. You can borrow bikes from the Varkaus/Taipale Guest Harbor. www.visitvarkaus.fi
