Routes Finland-St.Petersburg

[Jorn]

Hi,

Im wondering if anyone have any routes to recommend when biking from Imatra (Finland) to St.Petersburg? My tour then continues towards Ucraine, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey (to mention some). General tips would be very much appreciated, especially those consering roads and routes!

I have absolutely no knowledge of cycling in the area, however Michelin's routeplanner has a bicycle route planner, and this is what it comes up with.

You may well be able to work this out for yourself, but I thought you and others might be interested in Michelin's bike route planner. I would be interested in hearing of others

If you just want to just use the routeplanner it is

You will need to tick the "By bike" box under driving directions.
