    Awesome route! Thanks for sharing. Caught the train from Turku and did this as a 3 night trip staying in Laavu with a tent to keep the mosquitos away. Highlights for me were: -the gravel road ridge lines around Leivonmäki national park. -Haihatus arts centre in Joutsa. -Nyrölän saarilaavu. Once the daytrippers left this spot was perfect. I rode a Kona Unit full rigid mtb set up for bikepacking with 2.25 tyres. Wouldn't want narrower on some of the chunkier gravel roads. Thx again.
