What to do and see in Sweden, Sweden: The Best Biking Trails

Banvallsleden is an asphalt-covered cycle track with many attractions which generate natural stopping points and create a feeling of you’re on the right track. Banvallsleden is primarily a cycle track which follows the route taken by the old railway line between Sölvesborg and Olofström. The track is approximately 29 km long and starts by the sea in the beautiful mediaeval town Sölvesborg. From Sölvesborg via Ynde you cycle through a beautiful area of pasture land. You follow the track in a northerly direction through Barnakälla (an old railway tunnel) which once upon a time was Skåne’s longest railway tunnel. On the road to Näsum, Banvallsleden makes it way very close to Ivösjön, where there are opportunities to go for a swim. After Näsum the countryside changes to an undulating agricultural landscape where you can see the farmers preparing the land during the spring. It is possible to purchase cured meats and provisions, berries and fruit in the local farm shops that sell home produce.

The smuggler tour is a 19-km-long cycle trip. You cycle through the old mill town of Bromolla and along Edenryd’s Riviera, where you will find beautiful views and various activities, such as swimming and hiking. You will find places to eat and you can visit the pubs, or why not stay the night at one of the various B&Bs which are available along the route. The River Skrabe runs adjacent to the major industrial area in Nymolla – the river that connects Lake Ivo with the sea. The River Skrabe is one of southern Sweden’s best fi shing waters for whitefi sh. You will also find Nymolla Mill on the river. To hike along Kungsleden you do not have to travel up to Norrland! Instead, you can walk the “Little Kungsleden”, in Bromolla, which is very picturesque and runs alongside the River Skrabe, between community of Bromolla and the marine estuary. A few kilometres west and you will be in the small community of Gualov, where you can make a detour along Byavagen to the old Romanesque church from the 1100s. Once you are on the cycling track again, you will soon be able to see Lake Ivo – Skane’s largest lake. Here you will have an opportunity to stop for a snack or even a swim at the Strandangen bathing area. You can then continue on your journey and soon you will be right next to Lake Ivo, where you will meet the canal before you are back in Bromolla. On the way into the centre you will pass the town’s biggest playground – where you will certainly be able to pass an hour or so.
