Overview

About this route

  • Monday, August 11, 2008 - 3rd Stage:1st stage Giro Gota KanalKatrineholm - VretaNice weather in the morning, thunderstorms in the afternoonDeparture from Karineholm at 10:00 after gathering travel information from Mr. Sven. Upon leaving the hotel, we immediately take a bike path to Forssjo where we take the Nackrosleden which, moving away from the inhabited world, goes into a dirt road through a dense forest. At the Eriksberg lake, after passing the castle, we opt for the right bike path which Sven pointed out as the most beautiful and scenic. After a few km of dirt path, the route continues on asphalt through forests and cereal fields. After Bjarsatter, our route merges with another bike path that turned left after the castle passing through Bjorkvik. Now the Nackrosleden proceeds through woods and farms with a series of continuous ups and downs, crossing Lake Enaren, surpassing the small village of Vira. It is past noon when we stop to eat near Sandstugan. Interrupted by a sudden thunderstorm, we continue our path and in the excitement we miss a bike path sign that indicated left and would have taken us to the hotel in 2 km. By making a mistake, we go straight ahead under the E4 motorway until we intersect the national road. We turn right and, under another thunderstorm, reach Stavsjobruk. After finding shelter and information, after the magical coffee made by Flavio and with a shining sun, we reach our hotel in Vreta. Our mistake cost us a thunderstorm and 12 km of extra route (which we do not report in the GPS track).
