Mountain biking in Eskilstuna
In Eskilstuna, follow the river between the old town and the Munktell district. For a longer day out, ride into the countryside around Sundbyholm. If you prefer woodland trails, there’s mountain biking south of the city centre.
Vilsta and Odlaren have waymarked mountain bike trails in rolling woodland. Start at Vilsta for the facilities at the outdoor centre, or head to Odlaren for several colour-coded trails starting by the water tower.
