FI-LS-The Ox Road of Hame
|
Region: Länsi-Suomen lääni. This is a route from Turku to Hämeenlinna. Here's a brief description from the "official" route-homepage at http://www.harkatie.net/english/index.html: "The Ox Road of Häme going from Turku to Hämeenlinna is the most significant road in early Finnish history. This road starting from the river landscapes of West Finland and running to the forest terrain of Häme has been used by merchants, soldiers, pilgrims as well as kings - and even by Vikings more than a thousand years ago." The route-file starts from Turku harbor since that's the spot where riders - travelling with the passenger-ferries from Stockholm, Sweden - arrive at Turku. The first 25 km, before you get to the actual ox road, is quite boring but the rest is beautiful countryside on small, winding, tarmac roads following the river Paimionjoki. The roads are generally in a pretty good condition so you'll be OK with any type of bike. |
