Day 1Arrival in Stockholm


Take a first stroll through Sweden’s capital and explore some of the many sights and tourist attractions.

Day 2Stockholm – Södertälje | 60 km


Along Lake Mälar, Sweden’s third largest lake you cycle to UNESCO world cultural heritage Drottningholm Palace. Here, on the shore of the lake, the royal family  grew up. Take your time to explore the beautiful palace as well as the Chinese Pavilion dating from the 18th century. You continue by a short ferry trip towards Södertälje. The small town and home of Scania is connected to the Baltic Sea through a lock in the Södertälje canal.

Day 3Södertälje – Mariefred | 45 km


Today you ride on small side roads to Gripsholm Castle. It houses the national portrait collection of over 4.000 works that trace the portrait art from the 1400s and up to the present. The castle’s history goes back to the 1370s, when Bo Jonsson Grip built a castle on a promontory which, after several expansions, became Gripsholm Castle.

Day 4Mariefred – Järna | 45-60 km


Today’s tour takes you right into the amazing scenery of Sörmland. At this spot countless rivers and lakes were formed due to vast tectonic movements. Nevertheless the altitude is never higher than 100m. Once you have mastered the hills you get rewarded with stunning views and a long descent. Your hotel is located beautifully at a lake in the countryside and completes this “green day” of your bike trip.

Day 5Järna – Trosa | 35-50 km


Your destination for the day is the idyllic Baltic Sea town of Trosa, which is also used as the setting for many “Inga Lindström” movies. Finish your day with a stroll through the picturesque village and enjoy the small alleys, red houses and wonderful views on the water.

Day 6Trosa – Stockholm | 55 km


Northward bound and a short ferry trip later you return to one of Stockholm’s many islands. The last part is covered by a commuter train to Stockholm. Enjoy your last overnight in thecapital with a typical Swedish dinner in one of the numerous restaurants.
