Hemfjärden round is an appreciated and family-friendly bike ride that has become a real classic. The tour runs on fine cycle paths between Örebro and Glanshammar and offers both nature, culture and experiences along the way.
The tour starts and ends at Örebro lock, then you follow the river out towards the nature reserve Oset and Rynningeviken, a paradise for birds and nature lovers. About halfway, a break awaits at Norra Ässundet, where you will find both a summer café and a swimming area.
The highlight of the tour is the crossing at Ässundet with the bicycle ferry Åbäket - a charming experience that makes the tour unique. For the sake of simplicity, it is recommended to cycle north from Örebro, as the signs are easiest to follow in that direction.
