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.
Hjälmarleden is under development. The municipalities are reviewing the route and preparing signage, and the route choices listed here are suggestions. Have you cycled the trail? Please share your tips and experiences here: https://ivlv.me/izy1F
