Description

The Lieto–Hepojoki–Paimio cycling connector is about 16.8 km as one point-to-point ride across eastern Kaarina, the Hepojoki countryside strip, and into Lieto, tying the Turku-region Tammireitit network between Lieto, Paimio, and neighbouring municipalities. The City of Kaarina describes Hepojoen pyöräilyn yhdysreitti at the Piikkiö-Hepojoki corridor as part of a wider cycling network, with on-route signs and rural scenery, and links it to surrounding municipal routes. Tammireitit presents its cycling offerings as connector routes that join individual rides and continue into neighbour municipalities. Most riders will treat this as a practical east–west link. At the eastern end, the line reaches the Moision outdoor-fitness cluster around Moision ulkokuntoilupaikka—easy strength work or a stretch before or after kilometres. A little farther along, Veikkarin erityislastenkodin ja koulun luistelukenttä and the adjacent schoolyard sports sit close to the route for families already circulating by bike in Kaarina. About 9 km from the start, the geometry meets Pyöräilyn yhdysreitti Piikkiö-Hepojoki, the short Piikkiö-Hepojoki cycling link. The 61 km Kuuden kunnanosan kierros loop through Lieto lists Hepojoentie in its turn-by-turn cue sheet and notes field marking for that tour in summer 2024; the loop follows mostly light-traffic links and quiet minor roads, with unsealed sections and short private road permissions called out for careful riding. Together those sources explain why the Hepojoki connector feels like a signed rural spoke between built-up Kaarina–Piikkiö and the open farmland approaches toward Lieto and routes onward toward Paimio. Toward the western terminus the route draws close to Lieto’s municipal sports campus west of the centre: Liikuntakeskuksen tenniskentät, Liedon yleisurheilukenttä, Yleisurheilukentän ulkokuntosali, Lietohalli, Liedon frisbeegolfrata, and adjacent indoor training spaces form a single busy recreation zone—handy if you combine commuting kilometres with tennis, athletics, gym time, or a disc round. Pietarin polku, Hämeen Härkätie (Lieto), Jokipolku, Keskustan valaistu ulkoilurata, and riding-oriented segments of Kuuden kunnanosan kierros intersect this end of the line, so you can lengthen the day toward Littoinen, the Aura River valley, or Turku without replanning from scratch. The City of Lieto reports roughly 445 km of Tammireitit walking, cycling, and paddling routes across Kaarina, Lieto, Paimio, and Sauvo, with about 275 km classed as cycling. The City of Paimio notes that finishing signage for Tammireitit cycling routes through 2024 brought some 270 km of cycling mileage—including roughly 60 km of municipality-connecting sections alongside the main regional and EuroVelo backbone—and publishes route descriptions and map embeds on the Tammireitit site. For current wayfinding, the City of Kaarina points leisure riders to the Turku-region cycle guide map and notes completed distance and destination signing on key regional cycle routes by late 2023 as part of the Varsinais-Suomi cycling route signing project. Check those official pages before you ride for any temporary detours or maintenance.

Length & route

The route on our map is about 16.8 km end to end as one continuous line. It is not a loop, so many riders pair it with a return on parallel roads, public transport, or another Tammireitit link. Tammireitit’s Kuuden kunnanosan kierros describes the wider 61 km loop that uses Hepojoentie among many other legs and calls out mixed sealed and unsealed riding surfaces on that tour. The City of Lieto summarises the broader Tammireitit cycling network length at roughly 275 km of cycling routes within the four-municipality catalogue.

Getting there

The City of Kaarina associates Hepojoen pyöräilyn yhdysreitti with Hepojoentie in Piikkiö (postal code 21500) as the published access corridor for that listing. For wider orientation, Kaarina links leisure cyclists to the Turku-region cycling guide map and describes finished signing on main regional cycle routes as part of the Varsinais-Suomi cycling route signing project. Local Föli and school-hop bus lines serve Piikkiö and Lieto edges for bike-and-bus combinations—confirm stops and bike rules in the live timetable.

Good to know

Kuuden kunnanosan kierros reminds riders that segments use private roads: keep away from yards and pack out litter so future cycling access stays welcome. Winter maintenance follows municipal road policies—expect untreated gravel legs after snow. Combining with Pietarin polku or river-bank walks means sharing space politely with walkers.

History

Tammireitit is the follow-on to the 2017–2020 joint trail project led by the City of Kaarina with Lieto, Paimio, and Sauvo, with development continuing after the EU rural development–funded phase. Paimio’s announcement for the 2024 cycling signage completion restates that institutional story and names Varsinais-Suomi ELY Centre and Valonia as cooperation partners on signing and mapping.

Distance

Plan about 50–75 minutes by bicycle at a touring pace on mostly light-traffic surfaces, or roughly three and a half to four and a half hours on foot if you walk the full 16.8 km—most visitors ride.

Est. Time

Expect a Finnish Tammireitit mix of light-traffic bike paths, asphalt local roads, and shorter gravel or fine-crushed sections along quiet village roads—similar to the Kuuden kunnanosan kierros description of partly unsealed legs on the wider Lieto tour.
