Cycle package Sjuhäradrundan

With over 1,000 lakes, deep forests and rich wildlife, this is a truly beautiful place to experience by bike – at your own pace. Enjoy a cultural landscape and cycle on an almost completely car-free, asphalted cycle path that takes you through hilly nature without you having to struggle so much on the slopes. The Sjuhärad round runs for the most part on an old railway embankment. This means that you will pass several beautiful station buildings and old railway bridges. At times you cycle above the spruce tops! Given that the entire round is completely car-free except for a few kilometers, this is an excellent cycling experience for the whole family.

Along the cycle path there are several attractions. The cycle path takes you through villages and communities. Stop and enjoy nature, the quiet lakes. An advantage of the Sjuhäradsrundan is that you cycle a round and have the start and finish at the same place. The package starts and ends in Svenljunga. The luggage is transported between the accommodations. You only need to think about bringing what you need for the day on the bike. The luggage is in place when you arrive at the hotel. You stay overnight at Hotel Solhem Park in Borås and Hotel Bogesund in Ulricehamn.

ATTENTION! Departure is booked on Wednesday or Friday. Child discount (6-13 years): from SEK 3,500/person in a double room.

Today you cycle a fantastically beautiful part of the trail, along the Åsunden lake. Steep leafy slopes and hilly terrain on both sides of the bike path. Here you cycle on historic land. Sten Sture the younger was wounded by a cannonball on Åsund's ice in 1520. At the height of Marbäck, Bredgårdsmannen was found, which with its approx. 9500 years is among the absolute oldest skeletal finds in Scandinavia. You cycle on past Vegby, where there is a campsite, swimming area and shop. Månstad is a small community that has more cows than residents. From here, if you want, you can make a detour to Hofsnäs Herrgård and Torpa Stenhus (12 and 22 km back and forth to the cycle path, respectively). You arrive at Limmared with many second-hand shops, antique and retro. Glasets hus is a must-see destination and here you will eat today's lunch. You continue towards Tranemo where the hexagonal church with seven towers is one of the town's landmarks. Then you come to Uddebo - a fantastic example of how art and culture can drive the development of places. The tour ends in Svenljunga with many nice shops around the cobbled square. Maybe you want to stay an extra night?
