  • Bratteborg's farm became a manor in the 17th century and has a timbered main building in Carolingian style. Incredible beautiful!
  • Riddersbergs manor is beautifully situated by Rogbergasjön. Previous owners included the artist Calle Örnemark.

    After about 15 kilometers of cycling, you can enjoy Tabergstoppen. Either just by looking at the mountain that Carl von Linné is said to have called "Småland's miracle", or you cycle up to the top and have a coffee at the café at the top.

    Bratteborgs gård

    Cycling country road Bratteborgaren Jönköping

    After just over 30 km you come to Bratteborg's farm there, dating from the 17th century. The farm is in Carolingian style and many fine horses have been bred here over the years. The cycling-savvy writer at JKPG.COM who writes about Bratteborgaren calls it "Småland's finest road section". Not bad!

    Skinnersdal

    After a few miles in a northerly direction, you will reach the small town of Skinnersdal. Here it can fit well with a stop to enjoy the view of Jönköping. It probably feels a bit in the legs after seventy miles and the thought of dinner in Jönköping probably feels very nice.
