Planning and cooperation made the Sörmland bicycle package a success
They are two successful entrepreneurs in the tourism industry in Södermanland who are collaborating on a cycling package called ”Mellan Herrgård & Skärgård.” According to Clara Grill at Runnvikens Pensionat In Tystberga and at Sandra Svensson’s Marinans Guesthouse in Nävekvarn, one reason the package is so popular is that the route is both well-planned and scenic. They also agree that cyclists are very pleasant guests.
Together, you have developed a very nice bicycle package called "Between Herrgård & Skärgård" where you have connected places to visit and your activities with the help of bicycles. What is your experience so far?
It's fun to receive cyclists. The vast majority who come are satisfied with today's experiences and satisfied with their achievements, says Sandra.
We really do get very pleasant, nature-loving guests who book this package. It’s important that those of us who collaborate on the package—Runnvikens Pensionat, ", "Marinans Guesthouse, Fridens Trädgård, and Hellmanska Gården share the same goals and communicate quickly with one another," says Clara.
The bike package is much appreciated and popular. Why do you think you have received such a good response from customers?
We put a lot of work into putting the package together before we launched it. The routes are well planned and we give all cyclists a clear directions before they leave. The bike rides are beautiful and varied and Nävekvarn and Runnviken are beautiful destinations in two quite different ways, says Sandra.
That's right and we have tested the distance ourselves by bike. I think that is very important. Then, as Sandra says, we have made an accurate description of the trip and have a review with the guests before they cycle away, says Clara.
There are many sights and nice places to stop along the way. Do you have your own personal favorite?
Koppartorp with its church, homestead and Simonsberget is a super nice place where cyclists come on day two. During hot summer days, the detour down to Västra Kovik is my absolute favorite, says Sandra.
The package offers a wonderful bike ride with many nice places. When it comes to culture, Tistad Castle is a favorite, when it comes to nature, I choose Gälkhyttedammen, says Clara.
