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.
You start the bike ride on classic land south of Strängnäs huge cathedral, a short walk from the city station. There are several ways to get to Regementsgatan. We suggest that you take Lektorsgatan, Trädgårdsgatan, Nikandergatan, Bondegatan and Kristinavägen to the roundabout at Paulinska school where Regementsgatan takes over in a northern direction.
Follow Regementsgatan with a beautiful view of Lake Mälaren on your right. Continue in a northwesterly direction up to Vansö. You actually follow three different cycle paths: Mälardalsleden, Strandleden and Näckrosleden. At Vansö church, turn off southwest towards Härad.
After about 12 kilometers in one direction you are there. Next to the small town of Näsbyholm is the Arsenal, which is the Nordic region's largest museum for military vehicles.
This cycling tour is easy and requires no special skills. There is a bicycle lane in some parts. When cycling on the road, the traffic is quite calm, but you have to pay attention because there is not much roadside.
Here you can have organic coffee, eat a good soup and drink a locally produced beer or shop in Southern Denmark delicacies. In the summertime, there is a lighthouse in the courtyard's pizza oven.
In the middle of Mälaren between Strängnäs and Enköping, lunch is served at the pleasant restaurant. Raw materials from our own organic farms, both in the open field and in the greenhouses.
In Västerviken right in the heart of the city is the guest harbor. Here you can rent a bike during the summer months and get out and explore the surroundings.
