Highlights
- If you have a lot of time, you can cross all of Sweden on two wheels. From Ystad at Sweden’s South coast to the city Haparanda in the North, directly at the border to Finland - A trip pf about 2500 kilometres.
- The North Sea Cycle Route is the world’s longest, connected and signposted cycling trail. It leads around the North Sea. The trail is over 6000 kilometres long and runs through 8 countries. The cycling trail starts in Sweden.
- As there are about 90.000 lakes in Sweden, many cycling trails lead along the water, for example, the Vätternrundan, a yearly amateur bike race around Sweden’s second largest lake. However, the 300-kilometre-long track is also well worth riding without the event.
Tips
- In Sweden, there are no limitations for cycling with a trailer. However, everyone under the age of 15 has to wear a helmet.
- Many cycling tracks are located off the main traffic roads. Only single stretches have to be tackled on the streets, but they are usually not busy so that even children can ride here without a problem.
- Visit Sweden’s over 100-metre-long beaches and relax.
