The Green Gold Gravel Loop -bikepacking route 333 km

The Green Gold Gravel Loop is a 333km and 4-to-6-day loop trail on gravel roads in the northern part of the Jyväskylä Region. It combines the villages, services, nature sites, and beaches of the northwest Lakeland via old and new forest roads as it passes by the historic salmon rapids of Huopana, the national park of Salamajärvi, and the protected areas of old forest around Lake Kuivajärvi as a contrast to the forest industry otherwise present along the way.

The Green Gold Gravel Loop is a one of the three Lakeland by Cycle bikepacking routes: the Old Church Gravel Loop (440 km), the Goblin’s Gorge Gravel Loop (349 km) and the Green Gold Gravel Loop (333 km). These three circular routes pass through the Lakeland landscape of the Jyväskylä Region, offering unique views of the region’s geology and nature.
