Hamina is an idyllic town full of history. The town's circular layout in the center is unique in the world. In contrast to the historic center, the beautiful and diverse nature surrounding the city offers a peaceful retreat. Hamina is also easy to explore by bike.

At the beginning of the route, you'll be riding in circles, as people in Hamina like to say. The 18th-century fortifications and the exceptional circular city plan tell the story of the city's military history, which has been remarkably well-preserved to this day. From this era, many buildings remain, and especially the old houses of Hamina are worth a visit. Outside the walls, the city quickly transforms into the countryside, offering peaceful forest roads, fertile fields, and two bird towers where you can explore the lives of wetland birds.

Halfway along the route, you'll find the Pitkien hiekkojen camping area with its services and beautiful sandy beaches, making it a great spot to take a break during your trip.

The Hamina cycling route is 16 km long. The trail includes a variety of paths, from paved bike paths to narrow gravel roads. However, the paths are all in good condition, so you can ride even on a regular city bike. You can start the route from anywhere, but in this description, the starting and ending point is Hamina's city center. The route is not marked in the landscape.
