Loppi Biking Trails

The Komio cycling route is about 15.1 km point-to-point through Komio Nature Reserve in Loppi, in the lake uplands of Kanta-Häme. State-owned forest and water are managed by Metsähallitus; for reserve-wide rules, services, and current notices, the Komio Nature Reserve entry on Luontoon.fi is the clearest starting point(1). The City of Loppi’s Poronpolku cycling pages situate this corner of the network: Komio is named explicitly, and riders are reminded to stay on marked trails in the nature reserve while preparing for steep esker climbs, narrow needle tracks, roots, and short duckboard sections typical of the wider Poronpolku and Häme Lynx Trail terrain(2). For day-to-day access—seasonal boom barriers on forest roads, parking addresses, campfire rules, and the spring–summer shore restriction around Luutalammi for nesting birds—use the City of Loppi’s Luutaharju and Samo trail pages(3). By distance, the ride threads the Komionlammet pond cluster first: about 2.7 km from the start you are near Komionlammet tulentekopaikka 2, Komionlammit kuivakäymälä, and Komionlammet tulentekopaikka—handy for a break before continuing south-east through ridge and mire settings. From roughly 8.7 km the Luutalammi shore area groups Luutalammin käymälä-varasto, Luutasuo tulentekopaikka, Luutalammin tulentekopaikka, Luutalammi esteetön käymälä, and several Luutalammi and Luutasuontie parking pockets, so you can choose vehicle access that matches the municipality’s seasonal gate schedule(3). The route finishes closer to the Luutasuontie parking strip; combine or shorten using those lots if you shuttle with a second car. The marked Samo walking loops (Luutaharjun Samo, Pikku-Samo, Esteetön Samo) and the longer Poronpolku line share junctions and views with this cycling connection; Poronpolku is described as part of the broader Häme Lynx Trail network with blue MTB marking in the field, while Poronpolku event routes add separate red “PPP” signing in autumn(2)(5). The shorter Häme Lynx Trail: Loppi day loop overlaps the same trailhead cluster if you want to mix hiking and biking in one outing. Out in the Nature’s Komio report highlights the scaled relief—glacial eskers, supa ponds, and open mires—and notes dogs are welcome on leash and campfires only where the land manager allows(4). Talented riders sometimes use Komio as a compact leg between Häme Lynx Trail and Poronpolku segments; others ride it as a fitness day in forest without committing to the full 28 km Poronpolku tour. Match your bike and tyres to mixed gravel, soft sand on ridges after rain, and short boardwalk approaches near Luutalammi.
