Spanning a total length of 458 km, the Great Lakes route is a circular route encompassing Lappeenranta, Imatra, Savonlinna and Mikkeli. The route runs through the picturesque rural and lakeside landscape of eastern Finland, not forgetting the bustling and hospitable towns of the region. Along the way, unhurried country spots and interesting towns with their versatile amenities alternate at regular intervals. Saimaa, the largest lake in Finland, the nearby Russian border, the national landscape of Punkaharju, Olavinlinna Castle, a ferry ride, accommodation on the shores of Lake Saimaa and many other attractive features create a wonderful setting for a summertime cycle tour!
