Strukka Lock

Highlight • Monument

Strukka Lock in Pyhtää is Finland’s only sea lock with hand-operated gates, located along the Kymijoki River near the Gulf of Finland. Originally built in the early 1900s to support the timber industry, the lock is still functional and open for self-service use by boaters. The lock, made of cut stone, spans 25 metres and reflects the area's rich industrial past. It's a unique historical site to visit during a cycling trip, especially when combined with a detour to the nearby Stockfors factory area. The route features quiet riverside roads and is suitable for trekking or cross bikes.

Savukoski Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Savukoski Bridge is a historical site marking the former border between Sweden and Russia, offering a unique glimpse into Finland’s past. To reach it, follow the route over Ahvenkoski Bridge and turn left onto a smaller road that leads directly to the old museum bridge. The bridge connects to Savukoskentie and provides a scenic route back toward the Strömfors Ironworks area. The quiet roads and historical setting make it a rewarding detour for cyclists looking to explore beyond the main trails. It’s a spot where history and landscape come together.
