There are amazing cycling routes, with spectacular views of Lake Saimaa, in the Lappeenranta area. The main cycle routes have signs that indicate the distance to destinations and traffic sign poles have been marked with coloured tape to indicate the route.
Lappeenranta is an excellent starting point for longer cycling trips as well! For example, the Saimaa Archipelago Route is a traditional and popular cycling tour through Kyläniemi in the southern Saimaa region.
The route is approximately 154 km long, and it is recommended to reserve several days (at least 2-3 days) for the journey, as there is plenty to see. Along the way, you will find several Saimaa UNESCO Global Geopark sites. The route offers the opportunity to explore the attractions of Lappeenranta and Imatra, as well as three charming parish villages in Taipalsaari, Ruokolahti, and Joutseno.
There is a ferry transport on the route, which must be booked in advance.
