Start in Säffle, where you can enjoy the canal life, art in Vattentornet and perhaps a lunch at Stenmagasinet before rolling on through the open Värmland agricultural landscape.

In Värmlandsbro, Grön Ko Café & Saluhall offers locally produced delicacies in a charming old station building. After a hilly but beautiful bike ride you reach Liljedal, an idyllic archipelago community with the Glassworks Museum, Glassbruket and the possibility of canoeing or swimming at Buda bathing place.

Continue along quiet roads towards Segmon, where you can have a coffee at Kafé Sågtorp or stop at Billeruds Golfklubb for lunch and overnight stay. Soon you will pass Grums Fish'n Camp, perfect for a swim in Sävsjön, before reaching the journey's destination Borgvik. Here awaits one of Värmland's best-preserved mill environments with charming buildings, Sliperiet art gallery, cozy cafes and restaurants such as Kungskvarnen.
