Yellow signs "Näckrosleden" (will be removed)

The white water lily, Sörmland's landscape flower, has been named for this cycle trail that winds its way across and through the Sörmland landscape. The water lily trail is a total of about 700 km long and drawn in a large circle around Sörmland, cut through two transverse stages. This provides great opportunities to compose suitable bike tours according to your specific needs.

You cycle through a Sweden in miniature, with cultural landscapes characterized by pastures with beautiful deciduous trees and rich flower meadows. In his book Nils Holgerssons' wonderful journey through Sweden, Selma Lagerlöf called this area "the beautiful amusement park". Sörmland is also the manor landscape in front of others. Here the castles and mansions are close and many of them are open for visits. You will be offered fantastic dining experiences along the way with a focus on local produce.

Dismantling of the Näckros Trail
On October 11, 2024, the Regional Development Board in Sörmland decided to close Sörmland's cycle path Näckrosleden. The decision is based on the fact that tough political priorities are required in difficult economic times. A development project for the trail has therefore been canceled and a plan for the closure of the trail exists. As the Näckros Trail will not continue to be developed and strengthened, signage for the trail will be taken down. When and how this will be done is not yet decided.

Approximately 70% of the Näckros Trail is of good road safety standard, but there are short passages and occasional longer stretches where the trail needs to be moved or otherwise fixed. Here is a map where each section is marked based on how it is experienced: Water lily Road safety
