The start at Vaskiluoto offers a mix of industrial and maritime atmosphere. The bridges connecting Vaskiluoto with the rest of the city provide expansive views over the water and towards Vaasa city center.
When you reach Sundom, the landscape changes to a more small-scale and nature-oriented area. Sundom is a charming village with well-preserved old houses and farms, surrounded by meadows and forests. The roads here are quiet and lined with greenery, providing a peaceful cycling experience.
At Söderfjärden, cyclists are treated to a magnificent view over extensive farmland, known for its unique circular shape, formed by a meteorite impact millions of years ago. Here, the landscape is open and flat, offering an unobstructed view over the vast agricultural fields. Make a stop at the Meteoria Söderfjärden visitor center. In the autumn, large flocks of cranes can often be seen resting here during their migration.
On the way back, you pass through Solf village, with traditional red cottages and rolling fields. The village is known for the Stundars open-air museum and cultural center, which offers a unique insight into Ostrobothnian life from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. There are over 60 historic buildings, including a farmhouse, craft cottages, and a school, all authentically furnished. Visitors can experience traditional crafts, participate in workshops and events, and enjoy a historical environment that brings the region’s cultural heritage and history to life.
