Day 1: Harju Manor in Virolahti – Miehikkälä Salpa Line Museum, approx. 30 km
The Finnish Salpa cycle route starts from Harjun Hovi in Virolahti. This section of the route contains most of the Salpa Line's barracks and other wartime structures, making it ideal for a shorter day trip. There are two specialised museums along the route, both of which offer catering and accommodation during opening hours. The Virolahti Bunker Museum (9.4 km from the start of the stage) has the special feature of offering overnight accommodation in a concrete bunker. There are several accommodation options within a few kilometres of the Miehikkälä Salpa Line museum, where the stage ends.
