Cycle Tour in Sweden

Sweden's capital, also known as the Venice of the North, is the starting point for this trip. Picturesque landscapes, varied cuisine, outstanding cultural events – the Swedish metropolis offers vacation fun for everyone. The historic old town with the royal palace forms the heart of Stockholm. Personal tour information and bike handover takes place in the evening.

At the start of the cycle tour, you ride along Lake Mälaren in a south-westerly direction to Södertälje. Sweden's third largest lake is a popular recreational area for locals. Drottningholm Palace is located on one of the many islands in the lake. The route continues past meadows and fields, occasionally through small forests, to the small town of Södertälje, which is located on the canal between Lake Mälaren and the Baltic Sea.

Today too, the banks of Lake Mälaren are your constant travel companion. You cycle along small side roads to Gripsholm Castle. The castle-like complex was built in the 16th century by the Swedish King Gustav I Wasa and became famous in this country through Kurt Tucholsky's novel of the same name. The important publicist lived in exile in Sweden from 1930. Continue to today's destination of Mariefred.

The day is all about the unspoiled natural landscape of the province of Sörmland: pure picture-book idyll! There are numerous rivers and lakes here – as well as a few climbs, which are easy to master and reward you with wonderful views. The small town of Järna is located between meadows, pastures and forests, close to the Baltic Sea.

Today's destination is the idyllic Baltic Sea town of Trosa, where many of the popular Inga Lindström films were shot. At the beginning of the 15th century, the village was an important trading center. Numerous flat wooden houses, the waterfront promenade and the archipelago in front of the town give the town its special flair.

The last cycling stage takes you back to Stockholm. In the afternoon, you can take the metro to the city center and then cycle to the southern city island of Södermalm. The former working-class district has developed into a real trendy area that is particularly popular with artists and students. The charm of the people of Stockholm – Scandinavian directness paired with an almost Mediterranean relaxed attitude – is particularly noticeable here.

Your cycle tour in Sweden ends today. If you still have time before your departure, you can discover the beautiful city center of Stockholm on a tour. You will visit some of the 14 islands, including the island of Djurgården, which is home to the Vasa Museum and the Skansen open-air museum. We are happy to extend your stay on request.
