Cycling around Lake Tuusula

Spend a day like a Finn and go cycling at Lake Tuusula! At Lake Tuusula, only 30 kilometres from Helsinki city centre, you can sense the whole Finland in miniature.

Cycling around Lake Tuusula is a very popular activity. Beautiful scenery, historical sights and safe cycle paths attract both locals and visitors alike to cycle this circular 26 km / 16-mile route. There are several cafes, restaurants and picnic sites along the route.

The route goes through a culturally significant landscape and passes several historical artists’ homes such as Jean Sibelius’ Ainola and Halosenniemi, the log-built wilderness studio. On the rural west side of the lake, it is difficult to believe that the urban Helsinki city centre is a mere 30 kilometres away.

If you do not have time to go around the whole lake, you can either cycle a shorter distance, such as the scenic museum road Rantatie (approximately 4 km / 2 miles in length), where you can find many of the cultural sites. Rental bicycles are available during the summer time – for further information please visit the website.

Cycling at Lake Tuusula takes you through the Finnish cultural landscape, surrounded by woods and farmland. The tour is short and easy, so take the whole family with you!
