I seem to have nice plans but lately I have failed to carry them out. This time my plan was to ride to Teijo via a trail route located between Salo and Teijo. And I wanted to be at Nikkallio just before the sunset. But, I didn't have time for that. Instead I rode with my fatbike mostly on asphalt roads - not very adventurous. This route is however beautiful with very nice views and I'm very familiar with it from my road biking times.
The evening was really beautiful. No wind and very few clouds. The soon-ready grain fields made a nice late summer feeling.
The road to Teijo goes nicely up and down, and the views are great.
I wouldn't be before sunset at Nikkallio, probably just after it.
At the crossroad of Hamarijärventie.
The Village of Kirjakkala Ironworks is really beautiful place.

Finally at my destination!
I had high expectations for this place but they were surpassed by miles! Incredible place! Also challenging to capture the views in low light. The preview in my camera looked better than in the above photo, so I didn't take more shots with manual settings - I should have. On other hand, morning and sunrise would fix this.
Good night!
The morning.
I had a busy day ahead so I decided to eat Real Turmat outdoor meal for the breakfast. Thanks to Peter for picking up a couple of them for me during his Norway trip!
Awesome rocks here...
Instead of heading home I rode to Kemiö as I had an interesting busy day ahead, and it was logistically better choice.
Nice overnighter, but I have to do this again very soon to this place and ride the trail route!

Stunning photos, Toni!
Nice photos and the top of Nikkallio seems a nice place to sleep in.
You had a very nice trip! Some years back when I did some mountain biking, I planned trips to Teijo region but never materialised them, a pity when looking scenery there. Excellent photos like in your previous trips. 'Hiking' with Fat Bike looks very, very interesting! I might need a test ride some day.
Thanks all for the comments! I highly recommend the Teijo area. I would do more trips there if I had more time.
IDFN, if you have a chance to ride a fatbike you should definitely try it. Fatbikes are truly the revolution of mountain biking.
