Visit Kouvola – Mielakka Bikepark+

Description

For Mielakka Bikepark orientation, downhill and lift-served summer services, and the latest notices from the destination, start from the Visit Kouvola Mielakka Bikepark page. The City of Kouvola publishes wider cycling maps and network background on its outdoor cycling pages. Visit Kouvola and the Mielakan Rinnekeskus card both underline that Mielakka is not operating during the 2025–2026 winter season while the City of Kouvola looks for a new operating partner—check the city’s website and social channels before you travel for year-specific access, rentals, and events. The trail is about 5.7 km as a loop around Mielakka hill beside Kouvola centre in Kymenlaakso. From the Mielakka sports corner you are quickly among tennis and archery facilities, then into forest paths that swing past Kouvolan Vuorimunkin hiekkakenttä before closing back toward Mielakan rinnekeskus. The same corridor overlaps in places with Mielakan kuntorata and Mielakan latu near the early climbing tracks, and near the north end you can extend onto Latu Mielakka-Pappikallio or Kuntorata Mielakka-Pappikallio if you want a longer day on the same hill network. A route listing on Jälki.fi for Mielakan kierros—aligned with this distance and start coordinates—describes roughly 99 m of ascent per lap, a mix of lit fitness-path riding at the beginning and narrower forest tread with roots and small natural obstacles, a footbridge over a deeper ditch plus a second crossing along the bottom, and yellow-style tape, arrow, and paint markings on the ground. It also reminds riders that after crossing the ski-slope band the line climbs a wider track that downhill riders may use: stay alert, yield predictably, and carry a bell on shared tread. The same material notes walking, trail running, and ski-poling as companion uses on the loop—keep speeds moderate when sight lines shorten. Ski.fi’s 2022 piece on the refreshed Mielakka bike park focuses on colour-graded lift lines, children’s bike park finishes, and coaching—useful context for how the hill pairs bike-park riding with forest-loop MTB in one destination.

Length & route

The trail is about 5.7 km as one closed loop with roughly 100 m of climbing per lap in community route descriptions for the same start area. Expect short power climbs, brief descents, rooty natural tread, and short wetland crossings rather than alpine exposure.

Getting there

Route listings place the start at Mielakka’s base beside Ojaniityntie 3 in Kouvola, about 1.5 km from the city centre and a few minutes by bike or car from the travel centre area. The City of Kouvola’s cycling page links to the online map service for city bike routes when you plan the last kilometres on road. Bus lines also serve the Mielakka district from the centre if you combine public transport with riding.

Good to know

Lift-served bike-park lines, rental bikes, and venue opening hours change with seasons and operator news; treat summer 2026 access as live information tied to the City of Kouvola process noted on Visit Kouvola. On shared tread after the slope crossing, faster downhill traffic may appear—ride defensively and announce yourself.

Where to rent bikes

When Mielakka Bikepark is open, rental and coaching are part of the hill offer described on Visit Kouvola. During operator transitions, confirm whether the base still runs MTB hires or whether you need to bring your own bike.
