In 2019, the economic association Stora Turismpriset won for its efforts. As a cyclist, it is easy to understand why, here it is completely crowded with good cycle paths and places to visit.<\/strong> <strong>Here we talk to Mats Thorburn, who is chairman of Fj\u00e4rdhundraland economic association.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hi Mats! You have developed a new cycle path - Fj\u00e4rdhundralandsleden. What is it like to ride it?<\/strong><br>It is calm and nice cycling on small roads, mostly paved but also a bit on gravel. Along the way there are audio guides in the app Storyspot, cafes and farm shops with local food crafts - and nature areas where you can stay for a while. We did this route between the communities Fj\u00e4rdhundra and \u00d6rsundsbro, but we also have tips on the website on how to extend the trail to B\u00e5lsta or V\u00e4ster\u00e5s. It is also easy to choose another way back if you want - there are lots of nice cycling-friendly roads in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/swedenbybike.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Portratt-Mats-Thorburn-564x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32045\" width=\"282\" height=\"300\"><figcaption><em>Mats Thorburn<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Many are talking about a holiday in 2020 this summer.
