You leave Eskilstuna along quiet cycle paths that follow the Eskilstuna River out of the city. Soon you reach Hållsta, where there is the opportunity for a cooling dip or a short break.
The journey continues through a varied landscape with open views and hilly gravel roads around Lake Näshultasjön. Here you pass Magdakullan, an organic farm with a café and restaurant, perfect for a break in a natural environment.
The stage ends near Julita Farm and Gardens, one of Sweden's most well-preserved cultural-historical destinations with beautiful gardens and historic buildings, well worth a visit before rounding off the day.
