Bike tour of the historic Kymijoki River

Bike through forests and fields along romantic gravel roads, heading for probably the most beautiful landscapes of Kymijoki, and the former rapids of Mankala, as seen in old Finnish films.

In the last 50 years nature has hidden the signs of the excavations and the sights are again breathtaking.
