Just outside Strängnäs is Scandinavia's largest military vehicle museum, Arsenalen. Here you can learn about the development of military vehicles from the beginning of the 20th century until today.

You will cycle about seven kilometers from central Strängnäs, spending a few hours among tracked vehicles, green-painted trucks and old tanks. After a shrimp sandwich or something else good in the museum's café, you cycle back to Strängnäs full of new impressions.
