This bike tour takes you north from the historic town of Visby, with its charming cobbled streets and rich cultural heritage, to the underground treasures of Lummelunda Cave - probably Sweden's coolest cave.
As you cycle through Gotland's unique landscape, you'll encounter a mix of nature experiences and historical sites that tell of the island's deep roots. Whether it's an old ruin hidden in a forest glade or the sound of the sea waves against the coast, there are plenty of opportunities to take breaks and breathe in the island's atmosphere. On the way back to Visby, we recommend stopping in one of the smaller villages along the way. Many offer local dishes in idyllic settings, providing an authentic Gotlandic dining experience.
This is a fairly relaxed tour, so despite the length of the route, you'll have plenty of time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. Make sure to bring water, something good to eat and definitely a camera.
