Pyh\u00e4-N\u00e4si \u2013 Lake Trails
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Did you know you can cycle around the whole N\u00e4sij\u00e4rvi lake<\/a>? Depending on how much time you have to spare, you can combine cycling with a leg on the Poet\u2019s Way aboard steamship Tarjanne. There\u2019s also a route built around the city\u2019s other big lake, Pyh\u00e4j\u00e4rvi<\/a>, where you can for instance follow a 30-kilometer scenic route around the lake. Read more about the options and services from Lake Trails website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pirkka Cycling
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019d prefer some company on your adventure around N\u00e4sij\u00e4rvi, take part in Pirkka Cycling. The main legs, 210 and 134 kilometres, are a challenge to a recreational cyclist, but you can also choose one of the shorter legs for a more relaxed approach. A specialty is the Pirkka Night Cycling that allows you to combine the classic 134 km route with the white night of Finnish midsummer. About three thousand enthusiastic cyclists take part in Pirkka Cycling yearly. It\u2019s part of the Tour De Pirkka<\/a> sports event.<\/p>\n
