There is only one mountain on the route, but there will be a lot of hilly parts. Of course, there will be no large cities along the route, but even small ones are relatively few. Navigation is pretty simple, there will be a detailed legend. The main attraction of the route will be nature, which you will hardly find it in Western Europe and in central Russia: there are many lakes, pine forests, stone ridges. At KP (where you can sleep) there will be volunteers with experience of participating in brevets. The finish of the event will take place in the city of Lappeenranta.
