Mälardalsleden
Intermediate Asphalt Gravel
The Ekerö Trail takes you through one of Sweden's most historically and culturally rich areas - Ekerö in Lake Mälaren, just a short bike ride from Stockholm city. Here, important chapters in Sweden's history have been played out for more than a thousand years.
The trail runs through a rural cultural landscape where you will encounter eight magnificent 12th-century churches, magnificent castles and manor houses, and a rich art scene with museums, studios and architecture. In the middle of this lush island world lies Drottningholm Palace, one of Sweden's World Heritage Sites and the residence of the royal family.
In addition to the cultural heritage, Ekerö offers a vibrant countryside with farm shops, self-picking and arts and crafts, all combined with a fabulous nature and lake views.
Tip. The eastern route on Färingsö between Skå and Färentuna is busier. If you want to cycle up to Kungsberga and prefer less car traffic, it may be a good idea to take the western route. Take Stenhamravägen towards Törnby and Stenhamra instead of cycling Färentunavägen towards Skå.
The app is a practical way to use Sweden by Bike on your phone, including routes, favorites and selected membership features.
