The Viking Loop is the main route of the Häme by Cycle network – a 560-kilometre gravel and bikepacking adventure. Along the way, you’ll encounter the hush of deep forests, the sparkle of countless lakes, and centuries-old roads once travelled by merchants and storytellers long before our time.

The main route of the Häme by Cycle network spans the Kanta-Häme region, from ancient Iron Age trade paths to the peaceful silence of national parks. The journey flows between gentle gravel roads, easy trail sections and smooth asphalt, offering both long, unhurried stretches and climbs that will get your heart pumping.

The route is best suited for gravel bikes, with riders prepared for a mix of gravel, forest tracks and occasional paved connections.
