Salpausselkä Geopark Lahti - Gravel

The Lahti region offers a wide variety of excellent gravel riding terrain. Gravel roads surrounding the city or deep into the Salpausselkä Geopark offer beautiful scenery for a short loop or a day long excursion.Routes around the autumn event location of the Falling Leaves Lahti event and the Geopark. One hour away from Helsinki by train this is a true gravel paradise with great scenery in a UNESCO Global Geopark designated area!The Short Gravel Loop is a nice allroad 55km route of gravel roads and a few kms of tarmac. The Heinämaa Gravel Loop is a relaxed 64km route. Nice scenery, constantly switching between open fields and woods.
The Urajärvi Loopl is a more demanding ride, including a few (really) steep climbs. The route also takes you to Vierumäen Kelokota, a nice log cottage cafe and perfect stop on route.You can also opt for a longer day journey starting or finishing at Kouvola train station. More adventure and some technical riding? Try the Padasjoki Evo route.
