Bicycle ride for all senses

Södertälje, which is beautifully located on its canal, evokes associations with the pretzels that tourists were allowed to buy at the turn of the last century. Those who visit the city today quickly discover that there are many nice excursion destinations both inside the city and in the beautiful southern countryside in the south.

This bike package starts from Stockholm (or Södertälje, where you can go by commuter train). You share the road with cars, which requires normal attention. In Södertälje there are plenty of cafes and restaurants with food from almost all over the world. There is the opportunity to visit the open-air museum Torekällberget with its typical 19th-century environments.

The final destination is Ytterjärna, where the ecologically oriented have a lot to discover. Experience the magic of Skyspace designed by James Turrell. A kind of restful and meditative slow art that gives time for reflection and silence. If you are not in a hurry to get home and want to experience more of the green surroundings, you can choose to visit Tullgarn Castle and the exotic island of Oaxen. The digital map that comes with the package shows you the way all the way to picturesque Trosa.
