Vänerleden
The cyclists will pass cozy cafés, well-stocked farm shops and eateries with Whiteguide status that can satisfy hungry and thirsty stomachs. Around Vänern, the cyclists will pedal on separated cycle paths, low-traffic paved roads but also gravel roads that wind through archipelago landscapes, forest landscapes and fertile farmland. Some of the stretches are already used today as cycle paths, other stretches are completely new as cycle paths. The trail will be approximately 64 miles long.
