Immeljärvi is a hidden gem close to Sirkka. In the winter, the lake’s surface becomes a frozen wonderland. If you pedal around here, the crackling silence of the snow-covered landscape is broken only by the hum of your tires. If you're lucky, you can see the occasional glimpse of the northern lights dancing across the sky. In the warmer months, the lake offers a refreshing reward, perfect for a swim after a day of riding.
