Distance and timing basis

The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.

Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.

Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups

  1. 1. Savonlinna

    Savonlinna rises out of the water in the middle of Finland's Lake Saimaa, a town of just over twenty-seven thousand built across islands and narrow straits, with the great stone castle of Olavinlinna holding the centre. The fortress was founded in 1475 by Erik Axelsson Tott, a Swedish-Finnish knight, to guard the eastern border against Novgorod and Russia, and it has been bashed about by wars ever since. Today it hosts the Savonlinna Opera Festival each July, when thousands of people sit in the courtyard to hear arias echo off medieval walls. It is one of the odder pleasures of the Nordic summer.
