You can easily start the route from either Iso-Syöte or Pikku-Syöte. The trail initially follows Näköalatie, where you can experience the nostalgic atmosphere of an old country road. Local housing is concentrated at the beginning of Näköalatie in the village of Syötekylä. After the village, the paved road ends and turns into a gravel road. The route features many joyful descents and heart-pumping climbs, offering stunning views of both Pikku-Syöte and Iso-Syöte.
The return to Syöte follows the paved Syötekyläntie road. If the kilometers feel too short, you can continue from the route onto the Naamanka loop. Along the route, you can take a refreshing detour to Kovalampi in Kelosyöte or to Naamankajärvi. The beautiful Kovalampi is about 1.5 km off the main route. If you finish the route at Iso-Syöte, you can take a final dip in Luppovesi to rejuvenate.
