Description

The Piikkiö–Hepojoki cycling link is about 4.3 km on our map as a point-to-point connector in Kaarina’s Piikkiö district in Southwest Finland, heading toward the Hepojoki area and ties into neighbouring municipalities’ cycle networks. The national Suomi.fi service publishes Kaarina’s entry for Hepojoen pyöräilyn yhdysreitti—the same signed link—running through open countryside with waymarking as part of the wider city cycling offer. For how this segment fits city-wide cycling, maintenance roles, and links to the Turku region guide map, start from the City of Kaarina cycling pages. Tammireitit explains on reitisto.fi how local connectors join numbered regional routes and longer touring itineraries across Kaarina, Lieto, Paimio, and Sauvo—useful if you are stringing day rides together. Väylävirasto documents the Turku city-region cycling waymarking programme that renewed signage on radial and ring routes through 2023, including main lines that serve Piikkiö. Near the western end, the line meets Yhdysreitti Piikkiö-Jaanintie and Piikkiö-Toivonlinna pyöräilyreitti almost on top of one another; Piikkiön frisbeegolfrata sits beside that junction if you want a quick disc-golf stop. As you pass Piikkiön yhtenäiskoulun kenttä, Piikkiön yhtenäiskoulun lähiliikuntapaikka, and Piikkiön yhtenäiskoulun liikuntasali, the City of Kaarina lists a raised cyclist crossing (B7 pattern) at Makarlantie by Piikkiön yhtenäiskoulu—worth slowing for in school traffic. Along Hadvalantie, Tanssistudio Point marks the built-up fringe before the trace opens toward the Hepojoki tie-in. About 4.3 km from the start on our line, the geometry joins Yhdysreitti Lieto-Hepojoki-Paimio for onward cycling toward Lieto and Paimio. Pyöräilyn yhdysreitti Pontela branches very close to the start if you need a short local loop around Pontela, and Harvaluodon pyöräilyreitti sits a few hundred metres away for a coastal detour; Hovirinta–Piikkiö scenic route crosses nearby if you prefer a longer mixed hiking-and-biking shore-to-village itinerary.

Length & route

The route on our map is about 4.3 km end to end as one continuous line. It is a straight connector, not a loop, between Piikkiö’s core links and the Hepojoki / Lieto–Paimio corridor.

Getting there

Suomi.fi lists Hepojoentie, Piikkiö as the service address for Hepojoen pyöräilyn yhdysreitti. In practice, joined-up planning is easier with the City of Kaarina cycling page links to the Turku region guide map (opaskartta.turku.fi) for exact alignments beside roads and junctions. If you are already on Piikkiö-Toivonlinna pyöräilyreitti or Yhdysreitti Piikkiö-Jaanintie by Piikkiön frisbeegolfrata, you can pick up this link without a separate trailhead drive.

Good to know

Kaarina states municipal street-network maintenance for local bike facilities and notes ELY-centre responsibility on larger road bike lanes; check the city’s cycling and road-maintenance pages for seasonal work. Follow normal road-sharing courtesy: Kaarina reminds that most bike routes are two-way combined pedestrian and cycle paths, so pass other users carefully. Tammireitit asks riders to follow its outdoor etiquette page when using networked routes.

Distance

Allow about 15–25 minutes by bike on this 4.3 km link at a relaxed pace, or longer if you pause at Piikkiön frisbeegolfrata or school-area crossings.

Est. Time

Official copy stresses signed countryside cycling rather than a single surface type; expect typical Kaarina combined cycle-and-walk infrastructure and rural road-adjacent links consistent with nearby connectors.
