In the morning, take the ferry to the Island of Rindö. After a short discovery tour, you cycle on through small villages and breathtaking nature to the cross-island municipality of Värmdö.

Day 5: Värmdö – Saltsjöbaden, approx. 55 km
The next stage of your cycling tour through Stockholm's archipelago takes you via Fågelbrolandet to Gustavsberg. The Modern Art Museum Artipelag is very close by and always worth a visit.
