Ellun lenkki for mountain bikers, hikers, and skiers

The Ellun lenkki route is traveled along the path between Bomba and Hyvärilä following the shore of Pielinen, across the golf course and the Hyvärilä youth and travel center, until the jogging trail begins. The jogging trail-based route is hilly but is well suited for electric fatbike riding even for beginners. The trip includes mossy forests, lichen-covered rocks, and views of Pielinen. There is a kota and a lean-to along the way where you can enjoy picnic snacks. Perhaps you will see berries or mushrooms to pick. In winter, the route is a well-maintained and illuminated ski track where you can also ride fatbikes.

The Ellun lenkki is easy to make longer by adding the Kotilanvaara loop or shorter by taking the Kartano loop instead of Ellun lenkki.

Highlights of the route:

• Break Sokos Hotel Bomba spa
• Views along the Bomba-Hyvärilä section
• Pine and spruce forests, lichen-covered rocks
• Pielinen
• Hyvärilä youth and travel center
• Pielis-Golf

You can park your car at the following places:

• Bomban talo
• Break Sokos Hotel Bomba
• Hyvärilä youth and travel center

A sand-based road designed for pedestrians and cyclists leads from Break Sokos Hotel Bomba across the golf course to the Hyvärilä youth and travel center along the shore of Pielinen. In Hyvärilä, the trail follows the base of the ski track, i.e., the jogging trail, along the shore to Ellun lenkki. Following the jogging trail base makes it easy to stay on the route. Midway, you can choose to make a detour to Ellun kota at the shore of Pielinen, which adds a little extra length to the route. The route is also well suited for beginners riding electric fatbikes due to the wide jogging trail base. In winter, Ellun lenkki serves as a ski track.

It is easy to extend Ellun lenkki by including the Kotilanvaara loop or shorten it by taking the Kartano loop instead of Ellun lenkki.
