BIKING TRAILS

An alternative is to bike along the biking trail Sverigeleden (The Sweden Trail) which goes from the country’s northern to southern part. The trail pass outside of Nordic Discovery's bicycle rental. If you don’t want to bike in both directions so exists the possibility to return in canoes or on feet along marked hiking trails. Our maps indicate recommendations in order to find the “gold stones” of Bergslagen. Bicycles are for rent in Nordic Discovery's activity center (link)
