Jokireitti

Experience the rushing rapids and tranquil waters along the River Trail

The riverside fields bring before your eyes the moods and scents of the countryside. The river valley is also a treasure trove of food, with a history stretching far back in time. Along the village paths and at the tables of cozy cafés, you’ll hear stories of the past and the future. The river carries you from village to village, from bridge to bridge. This valley has been traveled by royalty, merchants, and pilgrims alike. So come and experience the rushing rapids and the quiet serenity of the river trail, as it connects the lakes with the sea!

The Kokemäki river valley is as if designed for cycling

The full River Trail from Sastamala to Pori is about 145 km long. The trail is divided into distinct stages through riverside municipalities and train stations.

The River Trail connects Tampere and the Lake Finland region to Pori and its maritime landscapes, as well as linking the Lake Trails to Eurovelo10 and the Selkämeri Experience Route. The route is mostly very easy to travel and flat, with the majority paved in asphalt. Some sections also run along gravel roads. The route guides travelers from one riverside municipality and service to another, naturally divided into clear stages. This is further enhanced by the excellent rail connection, as the Tampere–Pori railway line with its stations serves cycling tourists wonderfully.
