This is the easy one for the beginners. The first part, approximately 2 km, is on a hiking route, then turning to the right into the forest to follow the narrower off road track. The forest section before the Uutela shelter is easy, with some up and down sections ideal to practise bike control. You may find also geocache nearby.
