In V\u00e4stra M\u00e4lardalen we find the cities K\u00f6ping, Arboga and Kungs\u00f6r, which have taken a common approach to cycling tourism in the area. We asked some questions to Lina Ekdahl, who is Culture & Events Coordinator in Kungs\u00f6rs municipality, about the collaboration and which grains of gold we must not miss in the area from the bicycle saddle. In addition, the family with children gets some extra nice tips!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hey Lina!<\/strong>
You work closely with K\u00f6ping and Arboga when it comes to tourism. Do you have any tips on great nature experiences when cycling in your area?<\/strong>
Yes, of course there is a lot of nature and history in an area that has been shaped for many thousands of years. Here in Kungs\u00f6r I suggest wonderful J\u00e4gar\u00e5sen, here you can see Drottning Kristina's riding arena and at the same time look out over Lake M\u00e4laren. J\u00e4gar\u00e5sen is part of an elongated pebble ridge, in addition to pine, many deciduous trees such as linden, oak and beech thrive here. J\u00e4gar\u00e5sen is located next to Kungudden, which is a homestead, with a caf\u00e9 and a small museum, from which several of our trails start, Kungs\u00f6rs \u00d6stra bike path and the bike trail Kungs barkar\u00f6. If you choose the eastern one, you will come through the charming Himmelsberga village.

And if I start from Arboga or K\u00f6ping instead?<\/strong>
In Arboga, above all, you must not miss Hj\u00e4lmare Docka. You can cycle along parts of the canal, but it is always nice to have a destination, at the visitor center at Hj\u00e4lmare dock, you can see when you lock boats by hand. As well as stopping for a break at the nice caf\u00e9. If you want to experience cool nature, I advise you to park your bike and walk up to Finnh\u00e4ll. Also in K\u00f6ping there are plenty of sights along the cycle paths, for example do not miss the ancient castle Visberget and in the village H\u00e4ljesta, where you will find the largest known rock carvings in V\u00e4stmanland. On the slabs you can see almost 500 figures, including ships, human figures and animal figures. 

Do you have any special tips for families with children?
<\/strong>Yes, in Arboga I think you can plan an activity at Ekbacksbadet, the family-friendly bath and in K\u00f6ping I want to recommend all whimsical playgrounds, such as H\u00e4sthagens and Bondg\u00e5rdsberget. Here in Kungs\u00f6r, I think it is excellent for the bathing craving to stop at the bathing area Skillinge, or to pay a visit to Pinnparken's playground with many tools and beautiful views. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
