Info, tips and information

The River Trail connects seven municipalities and cities along banks of the Kokemäki River. For more up-to-date information and tips, please visit the municipalities' own tourism websites.

Safety

The route runs along various types of roads, including cycle paths, gravel roads, paved roads, and along the edges of driving lanes. It is important to always remember general safety and be mindful of the condition of the road surface. In more remote areas, there may be potholes or similar issues, so a relaxed schedule is always advantageous. However, the overall condition of the roads on the route is generally good.

The general emergency number is 112

What to bring along?

In addition to normal day gear, a water bottle, helmet, navigation device (e.g., mobile phone), and a first aid kit, it is a good idea to also bring at least a pump, a spare inner tube, a bike tyre repair kit, tyre levers (tools for removing the tyre), and tools for bike maintenance (e.g., hex keys). Always remember to bring enough drinks and snacks in case the trip is longer than expected or an unexpected situation arises.
