Bike ride to Drottningholm Castle for those who are historically interested and enjoy staying in magnificent castle environments.
Ekerö
Uppland
Cycling on Ekerö is almost unique. Few places in Sweden have such an exciting and long history. Crucial chapters in Sweden's history have been written here for more than a thousand years. The place is a green oasis, located on a number of islands in Lake Mälaren. In addition to the two world heritage sites - Birka with Hovgården and the Drottningholm area - there is a rich selection with other attractions and activities.

A rich art life is represented by famous architecture, small museums and art relics. Here you will find farm shops and self-picks as well as sales of handicrafts. And all this in harmony with a fabulous nature. The bike paths on Ekerö are popular and connect to the Mälardalsleden trail.
