Nyhyttan's bicycle package MTB

If you want to live well, eat well and have access to some of Bergslagen's best MTB areas, this bike package is for you. You live at Nyhyttans Kurort near a lake with the poetic name Sången and cycle in the area around Gyttorp and Nora-Pershyttan. If you choose to stay an extra night, you will also have time to experience the paths and trails in Hjulsjö.

Just over a mile north is Hjulsjö with lots of nice mountain bike trails in varying degrees of difficulty. At about the same distance to the south are the nice wooden town of Nora and Gamla Pershyttan - a unique miner's village that also has many nice MTB tracks in the surroundings. If you do not have your own bike, there are new, nice mtb bikes in different models for rent. In the evening you bathe in the sauna and sleep well in the silence and the fresh air in Nyhyttan.

The mountain bike trails that are part of the cycling area Bergslagen Cycling are marked with special MTB signs with a color and a number. You can download GPX files and route descriptions for each route from the map which you will find here.

Day 1

Nora-Pershyttan and Gyttorp

In the morning you eat a hearty breakfast. Then you head south down to Nora and Pershyttan. Starting from Digerberget, Pershyttan's information center or Nyttorp in Nora, you can reach thirteen different trails, and from the bike you experience how both mining and the ice sheet have left their mark on the landscape.

Slantan is one of Pershyttan's most popular trails. It contains basically everything that makes a cyclist happy. Gyttorp is a gem for those who are interested in architecture with their houses built by Ralph Erskine. If you cycle Limstensvägen, you can stop and eat your packed lunch at the nice rest area with a wonderful view of Lake Vikern. In the evening you can enjoy a sauna before it's time for a well-cooked dinner. You fall asleep unawares after the day's varied cycling and with the fresh forest air in your lungs.

The trails start at Hjulsjö gym, opposite Hjulsjö church and you have eleven trails to choose from. You cycle on historic land between burial mounds and cabins. Several of the trails run in similar terrain as in Rörbäcksnäs, and the paths wave along sandy ridges.
