Experience Finland’s nature in its pureness and its beauties at the same time when you ride your bike through the fells, forest and countryside along the EuroVelo 13 – route. Along EuroVelo 13, you can admire gorgeous lake scenery and explore war history and extraordinary nature. Up north you will enjoy the silence, nature’s peace, which you aren’t able to experience very often. More south, the closeness of the eastern border is evident; old watchtowers are seen in the horizon and the border area is next to the EuroVelo 13 route.
