Cycling day trip from Falkenberg to Varberg

Get ready for a super scenic ride! Starting in Falkenberg, a charming coastal town famous for its pretty beaches and the winding Ätran River, you’ll pedal north toward Varberg—another West Coast gem known for its striking medieval fortress and bustling harbor.

This route rolls along about 36 km of mostly paved surfaces (plenty of asphalt, with just a few rustic stretches), making for a smooth and relaxed spin. The terrain is gentle, with only a handful of mild climbs (you’ll hardly notice the ascents!), and you’ll mostly stick to bike paths and quiet backroads, so traffic is rarely a concern.

Expect to pass through open farmlands, shady woods, and the occasional seaside view—this stretch has some real postcard moments, especially if you time it for sunrise or sunset. When you roll into Varberg, reward yourself with a fika or check out the iconic Varberg Fortress perched by the sea. Whether you’re cycling solo or with friends, it’s an easygoing West Coast escape with plenty to see and do at both ends!
