Ride Örebro – Arboga on your own

The route on your phone

Become a member to use the route with your phone. You can use the app, or open the GPX file in another map app or GPS device.

Your last stage starts in Örebro, right next to Örebro Castle. Already after a few kilometers you reach Oset and Rynningeviken nature reserve, where the landscape opens up towards Hjälmaren.

You cycle on through a peaceful landscape of small roads and gravel stretches towards Arboga. Along the way there are opportunities for detours, either to Götlunda for ice cream and a break or to a bathing place at Hjälmaren for a last dip.

The last kilometers take you back to Arboga, where your cycling trip around Hjälmaren is rounded off filled with nature, history and great experiences along the way.

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
