Bike ride around Erken

The medieval church in Estuna is beautifully situated on the hill and is a nice starting point for the tour. Take the opportunity to look into the church, which dates back to the 13th century. There is a bus stop here and you can park your car.

The winding road between Estuna and Lohärad is named after the two churches that stand at either end. It's a classic piece of nature with fields, fences and red crofts.

Turn right at the sign for Kullsta. Continue Tre byars väg until you reach Risslingby. The road is lined with stone walls and pastures. You cycle through a living agricultural area where time seems to go a little slower.

Now you need to cycle a short distance along a busier road. Turn right onto road 76, and then left onto Erkenvägen. Stop at the bus stop and watch out when you cross road 76.

A perfect stop for a coffee or rest with a beautiful view of Erken. There are shelters, benches and a barbecue area - a peaceful place to take in nature.

Koludden is a real summer idyll with charming houses and fine views of the lake - sometimes you can see the fog dancing over the water surface.

Turn left at the intersection where Erkenvägen ends and turns into Kristineholmsvägen. You pass the old station on Roslagsbanan which reminds you of a time when trains ran between Uppsala and Norrtälje. Today a charming feature along the road.

Here you cycle through a classic Rhaetian manor landscape. The beautiful Kristineholm farm has ancient origins, and the surrounding land offers both deciduous forests and open pastures. Here you will find one of the largest collections of centuries-old oaks in the whole of Roslagen. Follow the sign towards Lohärad.

Lohärad church is beautifully situated in the middle of the village, surrounded by fields and old stone fences. The church is known for its well-preserved paintings and its peaceful setting.

After the church, at the bell tower, turn left towards Norrtälje. Follow the sign towards Nyckelby on the larger Lohäradsvägen. You cycle through a living countryside. Here are farms, forests and pastures.

The route ends where it began - at Estuna church. If you want to avoid road 76, there is a small road in parallel (turn left at Vitsjövägen) that you can choose the last bit.
