Explore the remote roads of the Trans Euro Trail Finland: Join one of my favorite days of riding of this journey – through endless forests and one of the last wild places in Europe.
Many other motorcyclists told me that the roads in Finland will be boring and straight. They said that Norway and Sweden are better destinations to travel. But Koilliskaira, the north east wilderness area in Lapland proved them all wrong.
We started off our day with at a gas station in the town Vuotso - the last chance of getting petrol before hitting the TET Finland!
The roads were perfect - but soon I realized, that there are some serious dangers when riding off-road in Lappland… Reindeer!
For a short stretch the TET Finland follows a paved road along the Lokka Resevoire. It is one of the largest reservoirs in the EU, and was created by by damming and flooding at the end of the 1960s.
We arrived at what felt like the middle of nowhere: at Kairiver, the Kairijoki wilderness center. Kairijoki has a campsite, cabins and a cafe. But we stopped here not to stay - but to meet my friend Jani who would guide us up Niekka mountain - one of the highest places in Finland accessible on a gravel road!
I have to admit that the ride to Niekka was one of my highlights - but as well our little stops in Suvanto with buildings in the old lappish style, in Luosto, the famous skiing area in Lapland and at the lakes of Kitinen were worth the ride.
If you want to enjoy the most beautiful part of the Trans Euro Trail in Finland: This video is for you!
