Falköping has a charming range of shops, restaurants and accommodation. Here is also the impressive plateau mountain Mösseberg. You cycle through a rich natural and cultural landscape. Don't miss Luttra gånggrift, a Stone Age grave that is about 5500 years old, held the remains of about 100 individuals when it was discovered by archaeologists.

In Åsarp you will find Ekehagens Forntidsby, one of Sweden's largest archaeological open-air museums. Here you can walk along a scenic path and discover recreated settlement environments from the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages. There is also a restaurant serving food and refreshments. Olsbrostenen, a 1000-year-old rune stone is located 1 km from Åsarp. It is the most famous and, according to many, the most beautiful of the approximately 20 rune stones in Falbygden.

Blidsberg is home to the idyllic Basta Kvarn, a cozy café with seating by ponds filled with noble fish. Along the trail you also pass the Baktrågen nature reserve, which offers a varied landscape with exciting ridge formations and unusual plants.
