Another mythical place along the road is Hell's Gate, a mountain pass along a medieval road near Kårtorp where straw robbers were in ambush in the past. One hundred meters south of the pass stands Dacke's stone or Clay stone, to which several legends are attached.

Vadstuguberget is located 185 meters above sea level and has extensive views of Lake Åsunden. On Korpberget, which is reached via the same driveway, there are remains of an ancient castle. Here is one of Östergötland's best places for rock climbing.
A mountain pass near Korpberget, following a medieval road that was once King Charles XI’s riding trail. This spot was known to travelers as a much-feared passage, as the surrounding terrain was ideal for ambushes. According to legend, highwaymen used to lie in ambush here. 100 meters south of the pass stands Lerje’s Stone (just over 3 meters high).
Take a walk in the footsteps of the ice sheet. Here lies one of Sweden’s largest bedrock caves, with a network of passages stretching over 140 meters. Explore the world of the trolls on your own or with a guide. The large cave—where, according to folklore, trolls once lived—is the most interesting. A narrow passage leads you to a chamber. At the far end of the chamber are openings to two long passages that connect with each other at their deepest points.
Hallstad meadows is a unique meadow with felled lindens that is beautifully situated by the southern shore of Lake Järnlunden. The lindens are old, gnarled and hollow as a result of regular harvesting of the foliage. Here you will find a rich floral splendor with a variety of herbs and grasses.
End the bike ride at Åsundabadet which is located in the middle of Rimforsa. Here is a nice sandy beach.
This bike tour is easy to cycle and requires no special prior knowledge. The starting point is Rimforsa and you cycle on asphalt and gravel roads.
