Connector route Lappväärtti - Karijoki

Distance 18,8 km
Duration 1h 15min
Easy

The Eurovelo 10 route runs along the west coast of Finland from south to north. There are connector routes between the Geopark network and Eurovelo 10 from Merikarvia to Siikainen and from Lappväärtti to Karijoki. These allow detours from the Eurovelo 10 route to the Geopark area network or vice versa. This enables combining cycling routes so that a bike trip can be done, for example, from one train station to another (Parkano, Pori, and Vaasa).

The connector route from Lappväärtti to Karijoki follows a permanently paved road along the riverside of Lappväärtinjoki. The route passes through pleasant rural landscapes the entire way. Besides the riverside villages, the scenery is dominated on the left side by Pyhävuori, the highest hill in Ostrobothnia.
